Kosmos Chat is a service for chat rooms and instant messaging. The service is separate from the chat apps you can use with your account. With a Kosmos Chat account, in the form of username@kosmos.org, you can chat with people on thousands of different servers.
Contents
Apps
The service is based on XMPP (also called Jabber when used for chat), meaning that most chat/messaging apps which support XMPP/Jabber will work with your account. Here are a few apps that we can recommend:
Android
Conversations is a fantastic app, and currently the gold standard for XMPP chat on smartphones. It is easy to use, and supports modern end-to-end encryption between all your devices via OMEMO[1].
Buy it on Google Play (supports development of this open-source app), or install it from F-Droid and consider a donation instead.
How to connect
Usually, you only need your user address and password to configure your chat application.
Your user address is your-username@kosmos.org.
Details
For advanced users and/or troubleshooting:
- Server/host
- xmpp.kosmos.org
- C2S port
- 5222 (StartTLS), 5223 (TLS)
- S2S port
- 5269
- Bosh URL
- xmpp.kosmos.org:5443/bosh
- In-band Registration
- Closed
Multi-user Chat (MUC)
The server is host to a variety of chat rooms. The server's MUC domain is kosmos.chat. Thus, room addresses look like chatroom-name@kosmos.chat. Only local users (with a kosmos.org address) are currently allowed to create chat rooms on kosmos.chat.
Come talk to us in kosmos@kosmos.chat!
You can connect to the XMPP service directly from the Tor network. The configuration is the same as for clearnet, except for the server to connect to:
- Server/host
- ht6eqe754p3m2gif.onion
