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.

is piefed social down?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

It was.

I believe I've found the root cause and fixed it but we'll see.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Great news!

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I realize there aren't a lot of great options in this area but Zulip is confusing as fuck.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What do you find confusing?

[–] Bonus@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago

as fuck

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Wow. This is such an interesting idea. Very cool!

[–] TheImpressiveX@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] rimu@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I agree.

I tried to create a XMPP server, twice. I failed once but one of them I got running but then I found it hard to get a decent desktop app which connected to it. By the end of the experiment I could see why XMPP didn't take off.

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 day ago

I understand you

[–] Blaze@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Desktop? For mobile I think Conversations has that feature, the one I use is a fork and it supports threads, although not as good as Discord IMO

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 1 points 20 hours ago

Desktop indeed
