[https://www.matrix.org Matrix] | KDE is officially using [https://www.matrix.org Matrix] for collaboration within the community. Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralized communication. It provides all the features you would expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption for privacy (for private conversations). | ||

== | == Getting Started == | ||
See the [https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ "Try Matrix" page] created by the Matrix Foundation, which has a walk-through of how to start chatting with Matrix. | |||
While registrations on the KDE Matrix homeserver are '''closed''', you can register on '''any Matrix homeserver''' and you will be able to talk to anyone using Matrix. | |||
''' | |||
You should pick a homeserver from this [https://joinmatrix.org/servers/ list of public homeservers]. The [https://app.element.io/#/register official matrix.org homeserver] is also available, but it will be slower due to its high number of users. | |||
After registration you may use any Matrix website to log in, but KDE provides an instance of Element Web hosted at [https://webchat.kde.org webchat.kde.org] ('''Registering an account here is disabled, create an account from other webserver and login here''') that you can use anytime to log in, no matter where you registered your account. | |||
To log in to the KDE Matrix Webchat with an account from a different homeserver, use your full '''''@username:homeserver.com''''' instead of your plain username, like so: | |||
:@johndoe:matrix.org | |||
You may also use any [https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ desktop or mobile Matrix client]. KDE provides a Matrix client that you can use called [https://apps.kde.org/neochat/ NeoChat]. | |||
== Support for KDE Matrix servers == | |||
[ | You can ask questions related to Matrix over the [https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-matrix-support:kde.org #kde-matrix-support:kde.org] room. If you need help with the IRC integration in Matrix, see the [[Matrix/IRC Help]] page. | ||
== | == Space home == | ||
If your Matrix client supports browsing spaces (like Element) then you can join the [https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-community:kde.org KDE Community Matrix space home]. Here you can see and search the list of Matrix rooms and spaces from the KDE Community. | |||

KDE is officially using Matrix for collaboration within the community. Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralized communication. It provides all the features you would expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption for privacy (for private conversations).
Furthermore, Matrix natively supports bridges to other protocols, such as IRC where KDE also has channels. This means that you can use a Matrix client to join and use IRC channels as if they were Matrix rooms.
Getting Started
See the "Try Matrix" page created by the Matrix Foundation, which has a walk-through of how to start chatting with Matrix.
While registrations on the KDE Matrix homeserver are closed, you can register on any Matrix homeserver and you will be able to talk to anyone using Matrix.
You should pick a homeserver from this list of public homeservers. The official matrix.org homeserver is also available, but it will be slower due to its high number of users.
After registration you may use any Matrix website to log in, but KDE provides an instance of Element Web hosted at webchat.kde.org (Registering an account here is disabled, create an account from other webserver and login here) that you can use anytime to log in, no matter where you registered your account.
To log in to the KDE Matrix Webchat with an account from a different homeserver, use your full @username:homeserver.com instead of your plain username, like so:
- @johndoe:matrix.org
You may also use any desktop or mobile Matrix client. KDE provides a Matrix client that you can use called NeoChat.
Support for KDE Matrix servers
You can ask questions related to Matrix over the #kde-matrix-support:kde.org room. If you need help with the IRC integration in Matrix, see the Matrix/IRC Help page.
Space home
If your Matrix client supports browsing spaces (like Element) then you can join the KDE Community Matrix space home. Here you can see and search the list of Matrix rooms and spaces from the KDE Community.
