# Registration
Client registration is open so all you have to do to start using Jabber/XMPP on NixNet is open your favourite client, enter `<username>@nixnet.xyz`, come up with a strong password, and register!

# Clients
If you're not sure what client to use, I recommend [Conversations](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.siacs.conversations/) for Android,  [AstraChat](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/astrachat-direct-xmpp-voip/id923002139?mt=8) or [Monal IM](https://monal.im/) for iOS/macOS (I haven't tested them and AstraChat seems to be proprietary), and [Gajim](https://gajim.org/) for Linux and Windows. If you're ok with an alpha-level client, I recommend and use [Dino](https://github.com/dino/dino/wiki/Distribution-Packages) for Linux.
