Hey Mitch,
forgot to add that info! sorry :P
Here is a well documented step-by-step process:
https://community.kde.org/Matrix
In a nutshell it's mainly going to
https://webchat.kde.org/
create an account and then you add that account
to your client.
I also use element on the browser,
and since I had already some servers,
what I did was to select the 'Explore Rooms'
option on the top-left corner (it has a compass icon)
Then you can select the server on the right of the popup
window, where you can 'Add new server'
using your new KDE credentials.
I hope it helps
Cheers!

Hi Cristián, thanks for setting it up.
I've never used Matrix before - how do I sign in using my KDE identity (I'm
using the Element client if it makes a difference)? I'm guessing I need to set
the homeserver to some KDE server?
Cheers.

Subject: Re: [Development] Mirror IRC channels on KDE's Matrix Instance
Hello,
Just to finalize this thread,
as https://phabricator.kde.org/T14673 states, the following channels are now
bridged:
#qt:kde.org
#qt-cmake:kde.org
#qt-creator:kde.org
#qt-cs:kde.org
#qt-labs:kde.org
#qt-pyside:kde.org
#qt-quick:kde.org
#qt-releases:kde.org
#qt-webengine:kde.org (irc: #qtwebengine)
To share the links to the channels
you can use the following:
https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#qt-pyside:kde.org
changing 'qt-pyside' for the channel you want to share ;)
A big thanks to the KDE folks that help the process!
Cheers

Hello,
Since nobody refused to this decision, will contact the folks at KDE
to start the process of mirroring the IRC channels into KDE's Matrix
instance.
Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone,
Context
-------
After the "Improve the contributor experience" session at the past Qt
Contributors Summit, many ideas came out related to an overall
improvement to the contribution experience, mainly focused on new
people joining the Qt Project.
One of the topics was Communication,
from which we (qt project people) discussed together with some KDE
folks and agreed that bringing the Qt and KDE communities closer was
a good idea, mainly based on the good experience KDE has currently on
the platform.
We have a good opportunity to do this via a bridge from our newly
created Libera.chat IRC channels, to KDE's Matrix Instance.
During the QtCS,
we tried this out, and mirrored the #qt-cs IRC channel to Matrix:
https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#qt-cs:kde.org
and according to the people that participated in the session the
experience was nice, and it might be worth to bridge all the other
#qt-* channels on IRC.
Read more about Matrix: https://matrix.org/ Read more about KDE's
Matrix Instance: https://community.kde.org/Matrix
Implications
------------
If you prefer IRC, it's totally fine, this change would only imply
that you will get more people on IRC to interact with.
If you want to move to Matrix completely, this change will enable you
to stay in touch with folks on the IRC channels.
Permissions work different on Matrix than IRC, but with the current
list of moderators in the #qt- domain we can easily assign
permissions to people on the Matrix channels accordingly.
Let's keep the discussion of other communication platforms outside
this thread, while they might be valid, it's out of the scope of this
proposal.
Question
--------
I would like to ask the Qt Project if you agree or disagree with the
proposal to mirror all the #qt-* channels from Libera.chat to KDE's
Matrix Instance.
If we don't have unresolved disagreements, I'd say we can proceed
with the mirroring Monday next week, but if there are concerns, I
would prefer to address them first.
Cheers
