IRC/Matrix/Telegram/Discord chat rooms for the Cosmo

[Varti]

Here's a list of all the Cosmo-devoted chat rooms. Please let me know if there's any other chat room not listed here!
I'm the admin of the Matrix channel, and one of the admins of the IRC one, so if you need any help, feel free to ask me.
The Telegram, Matrix and IRC channels are bridged (thanks to the work of Sami Olmari), so all the messages are shared between the three channels.

Telegram: All the channels here are invite-only, or protected via CAPTCHAs, as a measure against spambots. The invite/channel links are inside a spoiler tag to hide it from unregistered users and spambots. Web interface: https://web.telegram.org

Indeed, and there's also the XDA forum and Reddit community... I wanted to limit this post to chat groups only to avoid to make the list too long, maybe I could open another thread for all the related forums and social media.

Thanks for the heads-up, that Discord server seems to be a popular hangout. I have added it to the list and have also re-arranged it in order of popularity.

I have added three new channels on Telegram, for developers of the LineageOS and postmarketOS ports, and the workgroup of the CodiOS project.

The links are to a 'protected channel', where you have to do 3 easy emoji CAPTCHAs, then the bot allows you to enter the group.

Please note that the efforts are voluntary, not paid or full-time, and not representative of Planet. A Code of Conduct will be available soon, so generally, politeness and respect are what's expected in these groups.

Note: if the captcha doesn't show up when clicking "Start", wait for a while or try later, sometimes it takes a while to start. Also, note that if you have a CalsiBot chat already open, you'll need to either delete it or send the "/cancel" command before you can ask to join another channel protected with CalsiBot.

Thanks to shymega for the heads-up and for all the efforts involved in these projects!

If you need any help regarding these new Telegram channels, feel free to PM shymega here (his nick is "Dom (shymega)") or tagging him in the Discord/Telegram Astro/Cosmo/Gemini group, as he's not accepting PM's on Telegram or Discord.

And what's worse, many of these boards won't be indexed by [insert your favourite big brother web crawler here]. So if there is a problem and a solution is found, other users won't find it. Sigh. That's why I prefer OESF.

(Unless someone creates a USENET group :-))

Uh, well, the Telegram groups, Matrix, and Discord all have search functionality. It's just not in a unified search engine ;-) IRC... good luck.
