Welcome to tilde.cafe!

IRC

on tilde.cafe you can hangout and chat on the #cafe channel of tilde.chat irc (best for casual chat and exploring other tildes and related communities),
or #tilde.cafe channel of libera.chat irc (preferred for support)

tilde.chat is an irc network for the tildeverse (what is the tildeverse?).

how to connect

weechat relay

https://username.tilde.cafe/weechat is configured to proxy to the default unix relay socket location (~/.weechat/relay_socket). to set it up: 0. make sure you start weechat in a way so that it keeps running after you log off, easiest way is inside tmux (or screen, or byobu), 1. in weechat: 1.1. /relay add unix.weechat %h/relay_socket 1.2. /set relay.network.password CorrectHorseBatteryStaple (use your own secure password, it can be anything, it's independent from the shell/email password) 1.3. /save 2. every time you start weechat, in another shell (such as tmux window or pane), chmod 606 ~/.weechat/relay_socket

you'll need to do step 2 every time you restart weechat, but other steps will never need to be done again

some clients that allow connecting through this relay are Glowing-Bear web-client and Weechat-Android port is 443, domain is username.tilde.cafe (substitute your username), password is what you just set as relay password, and on weechat-android, make sure you select websocket(SSL)
