Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralized communication.
We used to host an instance of the Matrix server, synapse, however, it has been discontinued along with Soleil Levant's decommissioning
However, we now have a small team-only matrix synapse server for internal use (like moderation, notifier bots etc.).
Additionally, we still host 3 clients for you to use other matrix servers with (ie. Element, Hydrogen and Cinny)
Element is the flagship client of the matrix protocol.
It supports basically every feature available on matrix but has slight performance issues on weaker hardware.
Hydrogen is a minimal matrix client made by the makers of Element.
It doesn't support all of matrix's features, but has most of the important ones.
This is a really good option in case you are on older hardware.
Cinny is a matrix client made to look like discord.
It supports most of the features of matrix, but not all that element supports.
This is a good option in case you are moving away from discord and want something that looks similar to it.
