CompuVerse Matrix space suggestion

3 years ago by ButtonMcLemming to c/meta

I'm thinking it would be a good idea, since people using Matrix clients like Element can join it for announcements, chat, and as a fallback if the Lemmy instance suffers from downtime.

Also, the space can also help ensure that instance updates be carried out more easily through improved ease of information access through announcements. Lemmy instance version 0.19.0 has been available since December 15, 2023, and hopefully, preparations can be made for the instance to proceed with the upgrade.

From, ButtonMcLemming

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions!

I can confirm that an update was performed yesterday to 0.19.0 yesterday / today. We hit some issues during the upgrade, but these have now been resolved and CompuVerse is running 0.19.0.

I can also confirm that we now have a Matrix server! I will post an announcement shortly, but for reference, the homeserver is now located at https://conduit.compuverse.uk/

We have a client hosted also on https://chat.compuverse.uk/

Feel free to join! :)

Thanks, Cameron

Hi Cameron,

I thought it might be a good idea to explain how to join the Compuverse matrix rooms.

https://conduit.compuverse.uk is the address of the Compuverse home server. Rather than a link to the space or rooms

If you open a client such as Element search won’t find the space or rooms because it’s not part of one of the default networks. What you need to do is tap search, tap switch, then tap +, enter https://conduit.compuverse.uk in the box and tap Go

You’ll then see the Space and Rooms, tap join to join. The rooms will appear in your chat list from now on.

Cameron, would it be possible to provide an invite link? Then people could just click it to join in a client they already have?
