We know most of you were thrilled about our Discord server, so we decided to make you even happier with our very own space on matrix!

There is an announcement room for all the latest and greatest about Lemmy World: https://matrix.to/#/#announcements:lemmy.world
A General channel where everyone is welcome to join and talk: https://matrix.to/#/#general:lemmy.world

And lastly, this one is more for admins of other instances but we have opened a "LW Defense HQ" room which we want to use in our ongoing fight against spammers: https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world

Come join us!

EDIT: Madlad @[email protected] was easily convinced to set up a lemmy.world matrix server. So I edited the links to the new space and rooms. The old ones still work too!

That means you can now also sign up for a Lemmy World matrix account. Instructions in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/3443207

Aren't spaces more or less the building block for "servers"? i.e. can't you basically have channels by grouping rooms in a shared space?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Spaces are similar to discords servers/guilds yeah, but rooms don't have to be in a space and they can be in as many spaces as anyone wants

that's the alternative approach that matrix took. Probably has to do with technical things I don't know about. But they a little bit inconvenient and less smoother than what discord has.

It is just a matter of presentation by the client. Hopefully they figure out how to join all rooms in a space at once to make switching "channels" more smooth.

Yeah. However, currently I don't know of any clients that do that specifically. Currently, I use schildichat (fork of element with ACTUAL linux support). I would like to use Nheko but it's E2E implementation hasn't been audited.
