While we all love and welcome people to IRC (https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=2997.0), times have changed and requests have been made to provide access to a more modern chat application. Discord has found a lot of popularity in recent years and offers a lot of options beyond just text chat.
With our Discord-IRC bridge we also try to not split the community, but to connect everyone. Come join us by clicking on the Discord logo below! :)
