We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.

Rather than using Discord, we'll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It's pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn't be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here's a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

This post has been added the sidebar.

I got an iphone and I use element client which generally works well but I somehow can’t open your link and I cant find the room on matrix.org. No idea how to proceed. Got any hints? :)

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hmm, I wonder if that's happening to others. Either way, DM me on Matrix, and I can send you an invite πŸ‘

~~@backonmytbs:matrix.org~~

Edit: never mind! I did make a typo. There was an extra t added in there. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

This is the correct username: @backonmybs:matrix.org

[-] Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

Iβ€˜m not sure if you made a typo in your username but I sent someone a message with your exact username (instead of the one you wrote). That correct? :)

~~I don't think I made a typo. I just had someone in the Matrix chat try to DM me using the link in my profile, and it worked. If you want, you can try the same and see if there's a problem or not.~~

Edit: I definitely made a typo 🀦

For this service, is the same login as Lemmy used, or a totally new one? It's confusing to me when these Fedithings interact and when they do not. Sorry if this is obvious! πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Matrix doesn't belong to the fediverse

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then why is OP saying that? they're full of πŸ’©

Edit: How does it look now? Does it make sense and are their any inaccuracies?

[-] haelusnovak@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Am I OP being called πŸ’©?

I honestly don't know much about this. I wasn't suggesting it was. I was trying to ask as I'm also new to all of this. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

No, I was in no way judging you at all. Sorry if I was confusing. I was referring to myself as the OP that made the original post and saying that I was full of πŸ’© for being wrong. Thanks for asking to clear up the misunderstanding πŸ™‚

[-] haelusnovak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, thanks for clarifying! I thought I commit an unknown aggravating behaviour. Feel much better with your comment. πŸ™‡

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

youre welcome. i get it cause sometimes i feel the same way πŸ™‚

[-] Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

I feel like that is most of my life. :)

[-] Polymath@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Hehe, "fedithings." Hehe, I love it. I think I'll adopt that term into my fedivocabulary, lol

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's a whole new thing. You have to sign up like a new service.

[-] SpaceTurtle224@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Old thread, the new one is here

[-] aev@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

Thank you! As I'm learning more about my own autism, I'm quite willing to share experiences.

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Come on in and say hi!

Edit: you're welcome!

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

its a chat room like Discord, but the service is free and open-source software

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago
[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not really federated, but more so that the software isn't owned by a company.

[-] amelore@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You can chat on different servers, so I'd say it's federated.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I joined the room but I don’t have permission to post

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Contact me directly on Matrix so that we could troubleshoot it: @backonmybs:matrix.org

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I doubt it, but I'm happy you figured it out. I hope you feel welcomed! πŸ˜€

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

So far, yes!
