Element information
Element is a messanging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.
To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser (“Launch Element Web”).
The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:
- Press “Create Account”
- We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change
matrixtochapo.chat. This is completely optional; users who sign up with amatrixusername can still talk to people withchapo.chatusername. (Note: It ischapo.chat, nothexbear.net. Also, registrations aren’t always open onchapo.chat; if they’re not, just create an account onmatrix) - Fill in a username and password
- Hit register, and you’re done!
