Hi, since it took me some time to figure it out yesterday, note that the information on https://community.kde.org/Matrix on how to changing your nick and identifying to the irc server does not apply to the libera bridge.
To change your nick, start a private chat with @appservice:libera.chat , wait for it to join the room, and tell it !nick myfancynick If you have registered your nick and want to identify to nickserv, start a private chat with @NickServ:libera.chat and tell it identify myfancynick myfancypassword To store nick and password with the bridge (in case of reconnects) tell @appservice:libera.chat !username myfancynick !storepass myfancypassword If you want to test reconnecting tell it !reconnect HINT: Be patient. After connecting and the !reconnect it took a longer while (1 hour?) for me to actually show up in IRC. The commands for the bridge (appservice) are documented at https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/admin_room.html Br, Eike > On Jul 13, 2021, at 12:40, Cristián Maureira-Fredes > <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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! > > On 7/13/21 11:57 AM, Mitch Curtis wrote: >> 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)?
