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.
### Riot Web
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
homeserver. It can be found at: [chat.luon.net](https://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](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Fractal).
### Android/iOS
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
[RiotX](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/riot-ios) 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.
## Rooms
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!
