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.

Clients

Given that Matrix is open protocol, there are many clients available. For a full overview, see the clients page at matrix.org. Below follows a selection of the most relevant clients.

Riot Web

We have a instance of Riot Web 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. You can log in using your Luon account username and password.

Fractal

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.

Android/iOS

There are various kinds of mobile clients available, but the most well-known and fully featured are: Riot Android / Riot iOS. For Android there is also the new client RiotX that is a rewrite of Riot Android, is more lean and has a better user interface.

Credentials & IDs

Depending on the client, for logging in it might either your username and homeserver URL or Matrix ID (mxid) to log in. So, you can use the following:

• Username: user
• Homeserver URL: https://matrix.luon.net

or:

• Matrix ID: @user:luon.net

and of course the password of your Luon account.

Other users on the Luon homeserver as well as any other Matrix homeserver can use your Matrix ID to contact you. It is fully federated.

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.
