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 a instance of [Element Web](https://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://element.io), installable using
|
|
[Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/im.riot.Riot).
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
For Windows, the best option is to use is [Element Desktop](https://element.io).
|
|
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://element.io).
|
|
|
|
### Android/iOS
|
|
|
|
There are various kinds of mobile clients available, but the most well-known
|
|
and fully featured are:
|
|
[Element Android](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/element-android),
|
|
[Element iOS](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/element-ios) and
|
|
[FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/).
|
|
|
|
## Logging In
|
|
|
|
Depending on the client, you might either have to use your username and home
|
|
server URL or your Matrix ID (MXID) to log in. So, you can use the following:
|
|
|
|
* Set the homeserver to `luon.net`
|
|
* Username: `user`
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
* Homeserver URL: `https://matrix.luon.net`
|
|
* Username: `user`
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
* 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` where participants
|
|
will be notified of Luon news and Luon things can be discussed.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to create your own public, or private, rooms!
