 If you prefer chat-based contact, the Pidgin community has two primary chat
 resources:
 
+ - `devel@conference.pidgin.im`, a Jabber/XMPP MUC (Multi-User Chat)
  - `#pidgin` on `irc.freenode.net` on IRC
- - `devel@conference.pidgin.im`, a Jabber/XMPP MUC (Multi-User Chat)
 
-In the very near future we will be launching a limited public chat instance
-where people without an existing XMPP account can reach us via XMPP. This
-limited instance will allow you to talk in all Pidgin and IMFreedom chat rooms
-but it will not allow server to server communication. This is primarily due to
-resources.  We're trying to create and support a chat client and not a public
-chat network which would require a large investment in moderation, among other
-things.
+If you don't already have an XMPP account, you can use our free
+[PidginChat XMPP Service]({{< ref "/about/pidginchat" >}}) to reach us there!

+
+PidginChat is a public XMPP service that we run so the Pidgin community can
+talk to each other without needing an existing XMPP account. Once you have an
+account on our [JetBrains Hub](https://www.jetbrains.com/hub/) instance at
+[hub.imfreedom.org](https://hub.imfreedom.org) you will automatically be given
+access to the XMPP server.
+
+This service is purely for communication within the Pidgin community and as
+such is not federated with the rest of the XMPP network. This means you can
+message users within the `pidginchat.com`, `pidgin.im`, and `imfreedom.org`
+domains, but nothing external. Likewise, you can also join multi-user chats in
+these domains as well.
+
+***We the operators of the PidginChat service reserve the right to terminate
+access for any individual at any point in time.***
+
+You can connect to this account by using `your-login@pidginchat.com` as your
+username and using your normal password for Hub. However, if you have two
+factor authentication turned on for your account you will need to create an
+application password in order to successfully connect. You can find more information on how to create an application password in the official JetBrains
+Hub
+[documentation](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/hub/application-passwords.html).
+
+## Connecting with Pidgin
+
+Using Pidgin to connect to your PidginChat account is pretty straightforward.
+But to make it even easier, we'll guide you through it.
+
+First you'll need to create the account using the `Accounts -> Manage Accounts`
+menu item in the Buddy List window. In the Accounts window hit add. Fill out
+the fields accordingly, of course setting your proper username and optionally
+storing your password.
+
+{{< figure title="Add pidginchat.com Account Dialog" src="add-account.png" >}}
+
+When you're all set, you can click the add button and Pidgin will automatically
+attempt a connection. If everything went well, you should now see that your
+status is `Available` in the Buddy List window.
+
+{{< figure title="Buddy List Window With Available Status" src="buddy-list.png" >}}
+
+You can now join a chat from the `Buddies -> Join Chat` menu item in the Buddy
+List window. There are a few options for rooms to join but right now we'll
+just join the `general` room.
+
+{{< figure title="Join Chat Dialog For general@conference.pidgin.im" src="join-chat.png" >}}
+
+Once you click join you should be in the chat and can start talking to others
+in the Pidgin community!

+Greetings Programs!
+
+We've been trying to find a way to drive XMPP adoption a bit more, so we
+decided to spin up a limited access public XMPP server for interacting with
+the Pidgin community.
+
+Unfortunately, this service will not allow you to reach the greater XMPP
+network as we're not trying to run a hosted chat network as we frankly just
+do not have the time and resources to do that.
+
+You can find more information about this service at [PidginChat]({{< ref "/about/pidginchat" >}}).
