During the transition, some content may still be mirrored between the platforms. Our association's communication is **Matrix-first**, however. This note can be removed later.\n\n## Why we use Matrix\n\nMatrix is our central platform for internal communication in the association.\n\nWe use Matrix for practical reasons and because it is a **decentrally organised communication platform**, which fits our principles well. It also lets us organise communication rooms and give targeted access to internal areas.\n\nAnyone who wants to participate in association life will therefore need Matrix.\n\n## What is Matrix?\n\nMatrix is an open chat network, similar to Discord or Slack. The main points for using it are:\n\n- You can communicate easily through chat.\n- Accounts can be hosted on different servers.\n- Everyone can still communicate with each other.\n- Rooms, access and notifications can be managed flexibly.\n\nFor node-K, we use Element at:\n\n[chat.node-k.at](https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at)\n\nA username looks like this, for example:\n\n`@jonas:node-k.at`\n\nA Matrix account can also be hosted on another server, such as `matrix.org` or `mozilla.org`. That generally does not matter to us, as long as you can join our Space and read or write there.\n\n## How our communication is organised\n\nIn Matrix, we have a **Space** called [node-K](https:\u002F\u002Fmatrix.to\u002F#\u002F#node-k:node-k.at). This is the central entry point that brings our association's rooms together.\n\nIt contains different kinds of rooms, for example:\n\n- Open rooms for everyone\n- Members-only rooms\n- Internal rooms for specific roles\n- Project rooms for individual topics or working groups\n\nNot every room is visible or accessible to everyone. This is intentional.\n\n### Rooms and topics\n\nMembers **cannot create rooms and topics themselves** in our Space. If you need a new room or topic area, simply contact the person responsible for Matrix; they can happily set one up on request.\n\n## Permissions and automated management\n\nOne advantage of our Matrix structure is that we can **automatically manage** some permissions and memberships.\n\nOur management app lets us link Matrix accounts, set room permissions and synchronise memberships. Suitable access can then be maintained efficiently according to role or affiliation.\n\n## Everyday flexibility\n\nMatrix can be used very flexibly. Particularly useful features are:\n\n- **Notifications can be configured separately for each room.**\n- You can **join individual rooms**.\n- You can also **leave rooms again** when they are not relevant to you.\n\nEach person can organise their view and notifications to suit them, without having to be active in every topic.\n\n## Step by step: how to get an account\n\n### 1. Open the chat and go to registration\n\nOpen this in your browser:\n\n[https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at](https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at)\n\n![Open the chat](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002F1536a457-d5ae-4730-8474-e3333a68df4c)\n\n![Sign-in screen](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002F5fa08f7c-9a66-42af-96e7-1a4539b6bf1b)\n\n![Registration screen](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002Ff250096d-c9cc-4623-9afc-72cc800bcc0e)\n\n### 2. Choose a username\n\nDepending on the homeserver selected in the first image above, after registration your username has this format:\n\n`@yourname:node-k.at`\n\nIn the form you now see, you only need to enter a name. The `@` and `:node-k.at` are added automatically later.\n\nChoose a secure password and complete registration.\n\n![Choose a username and password](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002F7831a885-e092-4e96-bef0-c07033b55dd1)\n\n### 3. Enter the registration token\n\nTo avoid large numbers of accounts being created by bots or people outside the association (other organisations offer accounts to the public), you need to enter a registration token on our server:\n\n##### 4k1CRo4hJQPn\n\n![Enter the registration token](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002Feb5bcd74-47f6-4b7c-874a-5ed29ace3692)\n\n### 4. Choose a display name\n\nHere you can enter the name shown to other users. If your username is rather cryptic, you could enter the name you want to be called in real life.\n\n**If in doubt, choose the same name as your username.**\n\n![Choose a display name](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002F9490241d-66bb-4d3a-b1dc-11ce884b2bde)\n\n![Display name confirmation](https:\u002F\u002Fbackend.node-k.at\u002Fassets\u002F2a3c6b11-e51d-4f63-8956-311b46518cc8)\n\n### 5. Join the node-K Space\n\nAfter signing in, join the node-K Space using this link: [https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at\u002F#\u002Froom\u002F#node-k:node-k.at](https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at\u002F#\u002Froom\u002F#node-k:node-k.at)\n\n### 6. Select relevant rooms\n\nJoin the rooms that interest you and adjust your notifications if needed.\n\n## I already have a Matrix account\n\nIf you already have a Matrix account, you can normally keep using it. You do not necessarily need to create a new account at `node-k.at`.\n\nWhat matters is that you can join [our Space](https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at\u002F#\u002Froom\u002F#node-k:node-k.at) and be reachable there.\n\n## Summary\n\n- Our internal communication runs through **Matrix**.\n- The reference to moving from Discord is only a temporary note.\n- Matrix fits our principles because it is **decentrally organised**.\n- Our Space at [chat.node-k.at](https:\u002F\u002Fchat.node-k.at) is the entry point.\n- Accounts on other Matrix servers can also be used.\n- Members **cannot create rooms themselves** in our Space, but rooms can be set up on request.\n- **Notifications can be adjusted individually for each room.**\n- You can **join individual rooms or leave them again**.\n",true]
