Matrix Configuration #
- Matrix is an open protocol, meaning that you can use any client you wish to connect to a server. You can find a list here, finding the clients themselves on the app store or their respective websites. We recommend Element, as it is the most maintained and feature-complete. We also have a self-hosted web client available here.
- Register an account with the registration link that has been given to you. If you don’t have one, ask the admin to give one to you.
- With the client open, change the homeserver from ‘matrix.org’ to ‘matrix.deadbios.net’; then login with your username and password.
- Use the ’explore public rooms’ feature to find rooms. Spaces are the equivalent of discord servers, and rooms are like text channels or DMs.
- To set up sticker packs, follow this guide on the desktop version of Element (if using another client, contact Bitwise; apparently, Nheko supports stickers locally). Once setup, the packs will work on your phone:
Here is the code for the widget. Replace the two instances of USERNAME with your matrix username (case sensitive):
{
"stickerpicker": {
"content": {
"type": "m.stickerpicker",
"url": "https://deadbios.net/web/?theme=$theme",
"name": "Stickerpicker",
"creatorUserId": "@USERNAME:deadbios.net",
"data": {}
},
"sender": "@USERNAME:deadbios.net",
"state_key": "stickerpicker",
"type": "m.widget",
"id": "stickerpicker"
}
}
