I'm starting to think ergo (server) + halloy (desktop) / goguma (mobile) makes a credible alternative to discord for small community textual chat, based on some recent experiences.
At least this combo of IRCv3 servers and clients has a pretty high level of "just works" (not needing a bouncer, handles multiple simultaneous connections from different clients, history/state survives disconnects, basic image attachments / url unfurls / reactions, etc).
Dear #IRC fans, there's another huge release of #Halloy today! Hit your update buttons to get version 2026.7 🙌
New #IRCv3 support in this release: reply, redact, metadata, websockets, network icons and bot mode!
Lots of great new features and fixes, especially if you're on a server that can support them 😏
Check out the full changelog:

@dansup I highly encourage and recommend this!
Lots of open source projects are on Libera which has some nice modern #IRCv3 features. But if you run your own ergo server, you can have even more like chathistory (without needing a bouncer!), reacts and replies! And of course if you use the client, Halloy, you'll get quite a nice user experience as well ❤️
