New to this, starting to understand how it works sort of. I am looking for a place to chat to people, are live text chat room communities a thing here? Or do people chat through comments on posts? Not quite understanding that aspect yet.

How do you use it? I’m not too tech savvy

The next trick is finding public groups, is there a search function of sorts ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yea. I don't use fluffy chat, I just use element, but it's definitely searchable. there's also a directory.... let me dig it up

I have everything setup and successfully greeted like 1 person who I think was a mod trying to sus me out. But are there any groups or chats that are not just developers talking about a specific app or code ? How do I find such? Feel free to ignore this as I do realise you’re not matrix Helpdesk 😂

didn't you try the directory I linked?
