Good Servers?

Hello. I want to try out irc, but I don't know what server to sign up for, or what clients are good (Android). Any suggestions? Any lists of servers I can look through?

Thanks

i guess this really depends on your needs or interests. for FLOSS related topics libera.chat is rather cool

Thanks for the recommendation. They had a list of clients I could choose from which was good. I can't seem to figure out how to create an account though, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that.

IIRC you do not need to create an account - you can (if you want) register your nickname (so noone can impersonate you on that IRC server).

have a look here: https://libera.chat/guides/

I was able to figure it out, thanks for the link!

Did you find any app for Android?

Yes! I've found Goguma to be a client that fits my simple needs. Should be able to easily find it on FDroid. Or Izzy's repo if it isn't in base FDroid, I forget which it's in.

Any of those from f-droid do not work for me because they just don't connect to servers atall
