!Disroot Community I read yesterday in the #disroot xmpp #MUC a message describing the syntax for joining a #irc group from #xmpp. I can't find that message anymore (the xmpp clients that I use, #converse.js and #SecureChat, don't offer a search function). Could anybody repeat the syntax and also the syntax for joining a #matrix group from xmpp please, and also confirm when it's added to the Disroot #HowTo (with link please)? Thanks

Currently xmpp to matrix bridge is offline as it was hosted by matrix.org folks. Hopefully it will come back or we will spin up an instance once we lower the database usage on matrix side consideribly this weekend.

@King Emir# If your XMPP server offers an IRC gateway, such as #biboumi, you can join an IRC channel similar to a multi-user chat with the syntax #channelname%ircservice@ircgateway. E.g. if your XMPP account were xmpp:emir@movim.eu and you like to join the #gcc IRC channel on irc.freenode.net, then just open this link: #gcc%irc.freenode.net@irc.movim.eu.

Exactly. we do run biboumi IRC Gateway on disroot so that would look like: #gcc%irc.freenode.net@irc.disroot.org

@muppeth I didn't know, that disroot has biboumi, too. Good to know, thanks!

Yeah its pretty awesome, fast and reliable. Planning to setup bitfrost so one could join any matrix room too but need to check and think how to set it up so matrix does not consume all rwsources.

How about a Matterbridge with a chatbot that can be told to join new matrix rooms and bridge them to an xmpp MUC?

Not many people like matterbirge in their rooms becasue of the fact you dont see hows on the other side. I had few instances where matterbridge bot was kicked out.

Also dont like the fact its not native experience as the messages are echoed by the bot instead.
