Luon Matrix is a Matrix homeserver that can be used by any Luon user without
|
|
requesting an account explicitly. The Matrix homeserver will store the
|
|
conversation history of all rooms that any Luon user is participating in
|
|
securely.
|
|
|
|
For more information about Matrix, see: [matrix.org](https://matrix.org).
|
|
|
|
## Clients
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Web
|
|
|
|
We have our own instance of [Element Web](https://app.element.io) which is a
|
|
web-based, fully featured client for Matrix. It is preconfigured to use the
|
|
Luon Matrix homeserver. It can be found at:
|
|
[chat.luon.net](https://chat.luon.net).
|
|
You can log in using your Luon account username and password.
|
|
|
|
Other nice web-based clients are [FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/web/) and
|
|
[Cinny](https://app.cinny.in/).
|
|
|
|
### GNOME/Linux
|
|
|
|
On GNOME, there is the [Fractal](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/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).
|
|
|
|
For all the features, you can use the fully featured
|
|
[Element Desktop](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/), installable using
|
|
[Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/im.riot.Riot).
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
For Windows, the best option is to use is
|
|
[Element Desktop](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/).
|
|
In contrast with Element Web, you don't need to keep the browser open and get
|
|
notifications when there are new messages.
|
|
|
|
### Mac OS
|
|
|
|
Similar as for Windows, the best option to use is
|
|
[Element Desktop](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/).
|
|
|
|
### Android/iOS
|
|
|
|
There are various kinds of mobile clients available, but the most well-known
|
|
and fully featured are [Element](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/)
|
|
and [FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/).
|
|
|
|
The new generation client
|
|
[Element X](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element-x/) is also now
|
|
available and supported by our server. This client is meant to be more
|
|
user-friendly and targetted towards the general public instead of tech-savvy
|
|
users. Note that they don't have all features supported by the traditional
|
|
Element client yet.
|
|
|
|
## Logging In
|
|
|
|
Depending on the client, you might either have to use your username and
|
|
homeserver domain/URL or your Matrix ID (MXID) to log in. So, you can use the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
* Domain/homeserver: `luon.net`
|
|
* Username: `user`
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
* Homeserver URL: `https://matrix.luon.net`
|
|
* Username: `user`
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
* Use the Matrix ID: `@user:luon.net`
|
|
|
|
and of course in all cases the password of your Luon account.
|
|
|
|
Other users on the Luon homeserver as well as on any other Matrix homeserver
|
|
can use your Matrix ID to contact you. It is fully federated like e-mail!
|
|
|
|
## Rooms
|
|
|
|
Luon users are invited to join the room
|
|
[`#users:luon.net`](https://matrix.to/#/#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!
