See the [Matrix homepage](https://matrix.org) about what it precisely is and how it works, but it can basically function as a replacement for Slack/Whatsapp/XMPP/etc. + +Our Matrix server is located at [https://matrix.luon.net](https://matrix.luon.net). +If you have a Luon account, you can immediately log in and use it. Our Matrix IDs are of the form: `@user:luon.net`. + +We host our own [Riot](https://riot.im) web client, which is available at [https://chat.luon.net](https://chat.luon.net). However, you can use any Matrix desktop/mobile client you like. +Everyone is free to start their own rooms on the Luon homeserver, or join rooms or start chats anywhere on Matrix. + +**Note**: We currently have no bridges to IRC or other communication networks such as Discord/Slack/etc. installed, nor VoIP support or other integrations. For this, you will currently have to rely on Matrix' own bridges and integrations. + +**Note 2**: This installation is not completely definitive yet, but you can probably rely on us keeping it around. \ No newline at end of file
