PieFed has a chat room now, at https://chat.piefed.social/

We're using Zulip for this, which is an interesting combination of forum / chat room with strong support for threaded discussions.

You can use your piefed.social login with chat.piefed.social, BUT you need to use your email address instead of your user name. Use the same password.

The login details used by chat.piefed.social are synced with piefed.social when you log in to piefed.social or when you set a new password in your settings so if you haven't done either of those recently then log out of piefed.social and log back in.

You can also just make an account at https://chat.piefed.social/register/ if you don't have a piefed.social account.

This chat.piefed.social does not replace our Matrix rooms, it is an additional option for those who don't use Matrix.

Chat rooms sound intriguing. I'd love to try it out.

I think the fediverse should look for XMPP for chat solution. It is what comes closest to its philosophy

[–] Blaze@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Is there any client for XMPP that support threads (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0201.html)?

Last time I checked I couldn't find any
