We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.

Rather than using Discord, we'll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It's pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn't be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here's a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

This post has been added the sidebar.

For this service, is the same login as Lemmy used, or a totally new one? It's confusing to me when these Fedithings interact and when they do not. Sorry if this is obvious! πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Matrix doesn't belong to the fediverse

[–] BackOnMyBS 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Then why is OP saying that? they're full of πŸ’©

Edit: How does it look now? Does it make sense and are their any inaccuracies?

[–] haelusnovak 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Am I OP being called πŸ’©?

I honestly don't know much about this. I wasn't suggesting it was. I was trying to ask as I'm also new to all of this. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

[–] BackOnMyBS 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I was in no way judging you at all. Sorry if I was confusing. I was referring to myself as the OP that made the original post and saying that I was full of πŸ’© for being wrong. Thanks for asking to clear up the misunderstanding πŸ™‚

[–] haelusnovak 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, thanks for clarifying! I thought I commit an unknown aggravating behaviour. Feel much better with your comment. πŸ™‡

[–] BackOnMyBS 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

youre welcome. i get it cause sometimes i feel the same way πŸ™‚

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I feel like that is most of my life. :)

[–] Polymath 2 points 1 year ago

Oh dang! I've seen the "Matrix User" in the Profile settings and been wondering what that was, and by virtue of it being Lemmy-associated I totally assumed that it was fediverse!

Thank you for explaining that it's apparently not!
Now I gotta make sense of what the heck it is, versus what it's not, and what role it plays in these Profile spots we can fill out

[–] BackOnMyBS 8 points 1 year ago

It's a whole new thing. You have to sign up like a new service.

[–] Polymath 5 points 1 year ago

Hehe, "fedithings." Hehe, I love it. I think I'll adopt that term into my fedivocabulary, lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got an iphone and I use element client which generally works well but I somehow can’t open your link and I cant find the room on matrix.org. No idea how to proceed. Got any hints? :)

[–] BackOnMyBS 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hmm, I wonder if that's happening to others. Either way, DM me on Matrix, and I can send you an invite πŸ‘

~~@backonmytbs:matrix.org~~

Edit: never mind! I did make a typo. There was an extra t added in there. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

This is the correct username: @backonmybs:matrix.org

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iβ€˜m not sure if you made a typo in your username but I sent someone a message with your exact username (instead of the one you wrote). That correct? :)

[–] BackOnMyBS 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~I don't think I made a typo. I just had someone in the Matrix chat try to DM me using the link in my profile, and it worked. If you want, you can try the same and see if there's a problem or not.~~

Edit: I definitely made a typo 🀦

its a chat room like Discord, but the service is free and open-source software

To me matrix feels closer to irc then discord. Much more modern feeling then irc tho.

[–] BackOnMyBS 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really federated, but more so that the software isn't owned by a company.

[–] amelore 7 points 1 year ago

You can chat on different servers, so I'd say it's federated.

Old thread, the new one is here

[–] shiroininja 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The link doesn’t work. What is the room ID so I can add it in element?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! As I'm learning more about my own autism, I'm quite willing to share experiences.

[–] BackOnMyBS 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Come on in and say hi!

Edit: you're welcome!

[–] shiroininja 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I joined the room but I don’t have permission to post

[–] BackOnMyBS 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Contact me directly on Matrix so that we could troubleshoot it: @backonmybs:matrix.org

[–] shiroininja 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] BackOnMyBS 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I doubt it, but I'm happy you figured it out. I hope you feel welcomed! πŸ˜€

[–] shiroininja 2 points 10 months ago

So far, yes!
