Some of you may know by now that ani.social has its own official Matrix server. But not everyone who visits this community may have realized this, since the announcement about its launch was posted only in !meta, and the server itself was initially operating only as an experiment.
However, months are passing by, and it doesn’t look like the Matrix server is going away, so I wanted to invite members of this community to join us there. So far, the server is not very populated, but we do have a handful of regulars. There are rooms for anime, manga, novels, and there’s one for everything and anything too. This isn’t an attempt to lure you away from this forum, but simply an addition to enhance the experience for those who, apart from discussing posts here, also enjoy a real-time chat from time to time. Come and say hi!
You can join by using this link #space:ani.social or by entering #space:ani.social into your Matrix client.
Here’s a link to the official announcement (it includes information about registration on ani.social, but you can join using your existing Matrix account):

Side note: If you decide to join, it’s a good idea to use spoilers when discussing anime/manga. However, not all Matrix clients can send or even display spoilers (most notably Element X – it can’t even obscure spoiler messages, so you’re risking getting spoiled; Element Web/Desktop is fine). That’s why I’d recommend using a client that supports spoilers. Personally, I can recommend Cinny, Commet Chat, Gomuks for desktop, and FluffyChat for mobile/desktop. SchildiChat Next is also decent on Android, but it only displays spoilers, can’t send them (there’s a workaround but it’s inconvenient). Obviously, you can use any other client if you want. The almost full list can be found here https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/
For those who don’t know what Matrix is – it’s basically a Discord for nerds and also kind of an IRC spiritual successor. It’s unpolished – you can realize that from reading the note – but still can be quite fun!
You can read more about it here: https://matrix.org/
Follow the white rabbit, Neo!
@edit:
If you like the Cinny client, you can now use the version hosted in the ani.social domain:
https://chat.ani.social/
You must log in or # to comment.
BTW, I’m in no way in charge of this. I’m just a random user spreading awareness. Thanks to u/wjs018 for letting me post this here 🙏
If you’re a matrix regular, we have some fun sticker packs for you to pick up, too.
Come join us on Matrix guys, we have a heartwarming community over there waiting for friends
One of these days I’ll sit down and figure out how to use Matrix… 😅️
this is where I really wish the fediverse had worked off of an idea that people would connect to other instances in a saml type of way token exchange so that you did not have to make multiple accounts.
Enter the Matrix… but this time with more anime.
all my friends are on discord, and all my emote servers are too… I’ll have to decline.
Yeah! Everyone knows you have to commit to one communication software. You’re really in the grey area using Lemmy and discord at the same time as it is
tip: if you’re interested in running a homeserver, mautrix-discord lets you use it as a Discord client (note that this is against Discord ToS, so don’t puppet a valuable account; however, I’ve been using it fine since February with only one forced password reset from catching up after a long downtime)
From your image, only the second (and perhaps the fourth) entries are related to [matrix], and the second entry is only related to matrix.org specifically. Matrix (often stylized as [matrix]) is a protocol, not a server.
The fourth one is also unrelated to matrix.org: https://therecord.media/matrix-criminal-encrypted-chat-platform-takedown-police
The dismantled operation is not the same as a legitimate messaging platform hosted at matrix.org.

Same with discord, reddit, and every other platform.
