Lemmy World is now on Matrix

You're invited to talk on Matrix

We know most of you were thrilled about our Discord server, so we decided to make you even happier with our very own space on matrix!

There is an announcement room for all the latest and greatest about Lemmy World: https://matrix.to/#/#announcements:lemmy.world
A General channel where everyone is welcome to join and talk: https://matrix.to/#/#general:lemmy.world

And lastly, this one is more for admins of other instances but we have opened a "LW Defense HQ" room which we want to use in our ongoing fight against spammers: https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world

Come join us!

EDIT: Madlad @ruud@lemmy.world was easily convinced to set up a lemmy.world matrix server. So I edited the links to the new space and rooms. The old ones still work too!

That means you can now also sign up for a Lemmy World matrix account. Instructions in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/3443207

One of the things I love about Lemmy is finding out about new things. Now I get to figure out what matrix is!!!
Did you know you can bridge matrix to discord? So your discord users can talk to your matrix users?
Minecraft server next. 😃
Huh, I guess I should find out what Matrix is!

It's got an ominous name for sure xD but then Discord isn't exactly a happy name either :P
Congrats! You're really giving folks all the options!
I've not had any luck joining any of these rooms. I click the link, continue with Element (the web app), I can see that I'm logged in and can access a room I've already joined (for moderating another community), but for these rooms, I'm just getting:

#lwgeneral:h-y-p-e-r.space is not accessible at this time.
Try again later, or ask a room or space admin to check if you have access.
M_UNKNOWN was returned while trying to access the room or space.
If you think you're seeing this message in error, please submit a bug report.

EDIT: the updated links work for me now!
Is Matrix just a fediverse equivalent to Discord?
At this point there should be a brand-new domain: matrix.world 😎
So what's the quick bullet point version of how Matrix works? Are there instance like Lemmy? If so, what are the best ones?
I'm set up using Beeper for consolidation of a lot of my messaging platforms, and they support Matrix. That said, I'm not having any success in finding the listed spaces from the urls in the original post. Is there some kind of federation that needs to take place for this to be possible or, I dunno, is there some extension of Matrix that needs to be supported by Beeper for this to work?

I'll be honest, as always I prefer to get status updates on Mastodon and beyond that, Lemmy isn't a chat system for me, it's more of a forum-style interaction system.

But hey, I can see the need for chat in particular for mods, so cheers! 🥂
So glad and honestly relieved to see ya back up and running. More options are great.
Discord, anti-libre software, does nothing to defend us from a rug pull: does Discord really think we're stupid enough to fall for its scam.
Just joined! Btw anyone know good Matrix channels to join?
Why Matrix (which from my experience is closer to a texting app) instead of Revolt? I haven't used it personally, but Revolt looks a lot closer to Discord in terms of features and the usage experience.
Nice! This is the way to go
Great news, thanks!

I'd be happier if LW worked every day and more people were brought in through engagement and outreach.
@lwadmin Should have been the internet standard, XMPP. Matrix is terribly bloated.
