How can I use Neochat? I wanna try it out but I can’t figure out how to. I’m on Kubuntu also
Hi - NeoChat is an app for the Matrix chat/instant message protocol, so in order to use it, you’ll need to set up an account on a Matrix server somewhere (or log in to an existing account, if you already have one).
If you don’t have an existing account, as far as I know anyone can create one for free on the Matrix.org Foundation’s server. When you open NeoChat and it asks to either Log In or Register, you could go to Register in NeoChat and enter matrix.org as the server URL.
The Matrix.org Foundation has a pretty quick guide to what it is and how to get started located here:
That guide shows someone getting set up in the Element web client for Matrix, but since NeoChat is a native desktop application that fits really well with other KDE apps and the Plasma desktop, it’s my preferred option for keeping up with Matrix chat rooms.
Hope that helps,
