I wonder if there are detailed instructions somewhere, maybe with screenshots ? For instance I'm not sure if I'm supposed to provide a password, should the nick I pick be autoregistered ? It is recommended to use TLS/SSL but the closest approximation I found is "use encryption if available" in the "Advanced" tab. And pidgin only shows "Unable to connect" in the GUI which is not much help to debug the situation ;-)
You first need to register an account with an XMPP server. Here's a list
of free, public XMPP servers:

Once you've registered an account with an XMPP server, you need to add
the account to Pidgin. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+A while in
Pidgin. Once your account has been added and you are connected, you
should be able to join the "tails-dev" room on the
"conference.riseup.net" server.
Hope this helps!
