Pidgin is a huge project with a community that helps to provide support. We

have a number of ways you can get in touch with us.

## Discourse

[Discourse](https://discourse.imfreedom.org/) is our new preferred contact

method. We are still figuring out exactly how to organize this, but there are

sections for everything and we'll figure out the rest as we go!

## Chatrooms

If you prefer chat-based contact, the Pidgin community has a number of primary

chat resources where you can reach us.

- `general@conference.pidgin.im`, a Jabber/XMPP MUC (Multi-User Chat) for

general discussion.

- `devel@conference.pidgin.im`, a Jabber/XMPP MUC (Multi-User Chat) for more

development-oriented discussion.

- `#pidgin` on `irc.libera.chat` on IRC for both general and development

discussion. Check out the [web chat](https://web.libera.chat/#pidgin)

to reach easily!

- The officially unofficial [Pidgin Discord](https://discord.gg/pB9fbVC).

If you don't already have an XMPP account, you can use our free

[PidginChat XMPP Service]({{<ref "/about/pidginchat">}}) to reach us there!

## Social Media

Of course we also have a presence on social media!

- [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pidgin.im/)

- [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@pidgin)

- [Reddit](https://reddit.com/r/pidgin)

- [Twitter](https://twitter.com/impidgin)

## E-mail

We are currently in the process of shutting down our mailing lists and moving

all of the discussions that would happen there to

[Discourse](https://discourse.imfreedom.org/).

You can find archives of the mailing lists

[here](https://lists.pidgin.im/pipermail/).
