Due to scalability issues, jabber servers can currently only handle up to about 150 users.

Therefore it is best if specific communities run their own servers - by geographic region, by special interest, whether for kids/parents only or adult users...

To set up your own server, see instructions at Run your own jabber server.

Community Server Directory

If you want to publicize your server, please list it below. In "community", specify who should use this server - be as specific as possible.
