- poorman 10y agoIt says ura_limit_reached. I'm guessing you don't have enough paid accounts.
- trafficlight 10y agoI'll look into it. We should have an unlimited account. Edit: it appears there is a 5 guest limit per paid account. Edit 2: I think I'm going to set up a Mattermost server and push people that way.
- liveify 10y agoYou could also consider discord. It's popular in the gaming community but is capable of housing large discussions
- trafficlight 10y agoThat would work too.
- popey456963 10y agoWould definitely recommend Discord, although it's aimed at gamers, it seems to be an amazing all-round chat service. Rooms are of an unlimited size and have all the core functionality like file & image sharing, code highlighting, "reactions", which we've come to expect but also focuses more on getting people to speak to each other. It's built on electron and is both really quick & also require almost no resources when running in the background.
- zer0t3ch 10y agoIt has code highlighting? This is news to me.
- mynewtb 10y agoConsider simply using matrix.org, no need for hosting anything yourself unless you want to
- woah 10y agoMight want to try Riot. It uses a protocol called Matrix, which is the successor to IRC. What this means is that you're not tied to them. Also the web, desktop, and mobile clients are pretty sweet.
- mst 10y agoIt's more aimed to be a successor to XMPP/SMS - hence the focus on federation and mobile friendliness. Edit: Note this statement is based on my talking to people actually at matrix, on the dev team.
- kiallmacinnes 10y agoDoes Matrix really have the userbase in place to start calling it an IRC successor so definitively? It may be aiming for it, and I do hope we see an open chat protocol succeed over all the Slacks and HipChats, but calling it the successor right now seems a little disingenuous!
- yuvipanda 10y agoDon't see anything else around that fits that bill. They also have amazing IRC bridging - I have been using Matrix bridged into Freenode as my primary 'IRC Client' for almost a year now.
- kiallmacinnes 10y agoIRCv3?
- kuschku 10y agoCalling Matrix the successor to IRC, when there's actually new IRC standards in development, is very misleading.
- Famicoman 10y agoI'd really like to see usage of Matrix/Riot instead. A federated, open network and you can easily bridge your existing slack channels.
- shambolic 10y agoOr you could just use an IRC channel...
- bottled_poe 10y agoBut that's old. I'm only interested in new new NEW!!
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoYou have to admit, getting people on slack is much easier than getting them to join your irc channel.
- ashark 10y agoDespite having to have Slack for work anyway, I find joining public projects' Slack channels to be too high-commitment, so I never do it. IRC? No problem. I also like that IRC somehow has both a less formal and a lower-BS feel/culture to it. For non-tech people, yeah, it's probably easier.

- storrgie 10y agoConsider matrix first.
- zoltanveres 10y agoHi, let us know when this is ready, i would love to join as well.
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- fode 10y agoTrying to sign up as well to no avail.
- Wheaties466 10y agolooks like the channel is full.
- dsl 10y agoI think if your slack instance is a "community/group" there is no limit on users. It is only when you jump over to the paid plans.
