Luon Matrix is a Matrix home server that can be used by any Luon user without
requesting an account explicitly. The Matrix home server will store the
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
conversation history of all rooms that any Luon user is participating in
securely.

## Clients
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
Given that Matrix is open protocol, there are many clients available. For a
full overview, see the
[clients page at matrix.org](https://matrix.org/clients/). Below follows a
selection of the most relevant clients.
### Riot Web
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
We have a instance of [Riot Web](https://riot.im) which is a web-based, fully
featured client for Matrix. It is preconfigured to use the Luon Matrix
2020-05-10 15:36:26 +02:00
home server. It can be found at: [chat.luon.net](https://chat.luon.net).
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
You can log in using your Luon account username and password.
### Fractal
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
On GNOME, there is the *Fractal* Matrix client. It does not support all the
features of Matrix just yet, but has a clean interface that fits well into the
desktop. You can install it via Flatpak using
[Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Fractal).
### Android/iOS
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
There are various kinds of mobile clients available, but the most well-known
and fully featured are:
[Riot Android](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/riot-android) /
[Riot iOS](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/riot-ios).
For Android there is also the new client
2020-05-03 13:58:45 +02:00
[RiotX](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/riotx) that is
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
a rewrite of *Riot Android*, is more lean and has a better user interface.
## Credentials & IDs
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
Depending on the client, for logging in it might either your username and
2020-05-10 15:36:26 +02:00
home server URL or Matrix ID (mxid) to log in. So, you can use the following:
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
* Username: `user`
2020-05-10 15:36:26 +02:00
* home server URL: `https://matrix.luon.net`
or:
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
* Matrix ID: `@user:luon.net`
and of course the password of your Luon account.
2020-05-10 15:36:26 +02:00
Other users on the Luon home server as well as any other Matrix home server can
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
use your Matrix ID to contact you. It is fully federated.
## Rooms
2020-05-01 15:14:22 +02:00
Luon users are invited to join the room `#users:luon.net` where participants
will be notified of Luon news and Luon things can be discussed.
Feel free to create your own public, or private, rooms!
