unclemez i installed Neochat from repos

I've never accessed Matrix, and I've been searching for a way to obtain a "Matrix ID" such as required by Neochat. No luck so far. Where can we go to get one of those?

I assume that's just a first step, but we'll be able to access the Solus account once we're connected to a Matrix server, no?

    There isn't even a "default" Matrix client for Solus (yet?). Konversation/Hexchat/etc. are just leftovers from the IRC days (which weren't that long ago).
    Personally I just use Element, some KDE/Qt people seem to like "nheko", and "cinny" also seems to be a good alternative (the latter is not in the repo yet).

      Staudey then elemen should become the default, it works well on both GTK and Qt
      neochat is cool but make things a bit more complicated and konversation is just "old style" thing
      one client to rule them all, Element can be the thing here, instead of having to build with differents stuffs for each iso, you can go a unique matrix client for both GTK/Qt and unify people under the same banner so have similar experience and it will make it easy for you when building ISO or maintaining stuffs
      My personal feeling

        ReillyBrogan just testing it and really it is far from the feeling i experienced with element or schildichat

            UPDATE: I installed Element yesterday, and it offered me a way to create a Matrix account, unlike Neochat. The last step of the process was to answer a confirming email, which would finalize the account creation process. When I hadn't received that email for quite a while, I clicked the "resend email" link. Altogether, I did that four times.

            By today, I still haven't received the confirming email, so I'm still without a Matrix account. I'm beginning to believe it may just be destiny.

            Hi WetGeek,
            I actually was asked for this email, and I didn't received it. I have been just using Element with the different groups without any confirmation, and it works. Maybe, just try to use it like this.

              did you see if you have one of the auto login options like Google or Facebook account ? i just use my google account credentials and it works fine.

                Thanks for the suggestions ... I'll give that a try. Apparently they changed their requirement, but didn't change the text saying that there was one.

                    I installed Element at the endorsement of J. Strobl, who rec'd it to Solus users on solus/reddit before the Solus forum came back up.
                    but unclemez they all look (your pictures) way too busy for my dumb a** including Element. Konversation might be my speed🙂...I mean for what it's supposed to do I would be content with ASCII output for a glorified IM 😉

                        brent as long as it works for you it is fine !
                        Me happy with Element a lot !
