Click for some quick info about how matrix works
Unlike most platforms, you can host a matrix server yourself. All these servers and users can communicate to each other, and users only need one account. This is called federation.
Think of it like this: you can have an e-mail joesmith@notgoggle.com and your friend can have janedoe@notoutlike.com but both of you can send each other e-mails without issue.
Some terms you may hear on matrix:
- Client: The app you use on your computer or phone to connect to matrix.
- Client examples: Element, Schildi, Cinny, Fluffy Chat
- Server: cutefunny.art is a matrix server, it hosts all the user’s data.
- Synapse: You may hear someone mention Synapse, this is the name of the matrix server software that powers it.
- Matrix: Matrix itself is technically just a guidebook of how exactly every little detail of how servers and clients should be made, that way anyone can make their own client or server software.
- Room: Like a Discord “channel” It has a sharable # you can share with others like Discord too.
- Space: Like a Discord “server” Its a collection of rooms, but unlike Discord, you can add any room if its permisssions are set to alllow this. You can make a private space to organize your rooms you’ve joined even.
