 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I'm so freaking happy we moved to matrix. | 20:10:50 |
|  nbathum (he or they) joined the room. | 20:27:53 |
| nbathum (he or they) | colemickens 🏳️🌈: any favorites for learning more about matrix (as a user)? | 20:28:47 |
| nbathum (he or they) | don't get me wrong, there is a certain thrill from reading a spec, but i just don't have that kind of time | 20:29:26 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I follow the "This Week In Matrix", sometimes watch the videos, mostly just skim the blog. It's a pretty good way to keep up to date, on clients, protocol changes, etc, without having to read the spec or follow GH. | 20:31:50 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | It's how I know about various clients, or threading, or know about things like Cactus Comments. https://cactus.chat/ | 20:32:14 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | etc | 20:32:16 |
 kevincox | It also depends if you want to "keep up with with matrix" or just have some idea how to use it or some idea how it works. | 20:32:45 |

 mutantmell | You could always just create an unofficial room, and if it ends up being popular maybe it can be adopted into the community? | 19:47:36 |
| mutantmell | One of the nice things about Matrix is that, even if it starts on a different server, there's a mechanism for the nixos server to adopt channels into the nixos namespace, so it'll even look official :D | 19:51:31 |

 infinisil | Oh neat | 23:41:35 |

Related: Is it possible to move your handle to another server? No. | 23:42:12 |
| sumner | There are tools that can help you move your chats, though. | 23:42:22 |
| infinisil | Damn | 23:42:22 |
| sumner | There's an MSC for portable profiles, but I think that is a ways out. | 23:42:45 |
| sumner | https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2787 | 23:42:55 |
| infinisil | I think that would be nice | 23:42:55 |
| infinisil | Especially as more people might want to self-host over time | 23:43:08 |
| sumner | It's also especially necessary for P2P Matrix | 23:43:24 |
| infinisil | sumner: How so? | 23:43:55 |
| sumner | Well, I guess it's not a prerequisite as much as it's necessary for the user experience to not be terrible. The idea is that you should be able to start using Matrix in P2P mode, and then if you want things like chat persistence, then you can move your identity to a homeserver. (Also, take this with a grain of salt, this is just my understanding of the issue.) | 23:45:44 |

| infinisil | Ohhh that's very interesting | 23:46:24 |
 Dandellion | If every device is a homeserver your user needs to be able to exist on multiple homeservers | 23:46:25 |
| infinisil | I like this | 23:46:46 |
