Official Matrix room about dwl

[DanielMowitz]

As discussed in #61, there already is a matrix room that is linked to the Freenode channel. The Discord bridge would be a welcome addition and would aid us in not splitting the community.

It should be in the README.

It should be in the README.

That's how I see things aswell. See #88 for my PR regarding the issue.

Does this room still exist? I've gotten around to setting up Matrix but am having trouble joining.

[DanielMowitz]

Did you select Freenode as your server? I just clicked through the 'explore rooms' option at https://app.element.io/ and had to select the right server first. After this I found #dwl (with 16 members ^^).

Do we have dedicated matrix channel since freenode is no more? Or is it just only the libera.chat irc?

[fauxmight]

@pm4rcin It looks like
/join #dwl:libera.chat
works.

Separately, I set up a matrix-discord bridge myself a few weeks ago, and it works, but it's a little cumbersome. I can see nicks present in the #dwl:libera.chat room, but I am not clear yet to which (if any) of the discord rooms this is linked.

[pm4rcin]

@fauxmight if you have time we could test. I can join irc and write some messages so you'll check which discord room is bridged.

[fauxmight]

@pm4rcin: Go for it.
I am currently in the Matrix room:
#dwl:libera.chat

I am in my own matrix-discord bridge and present in the whole "guild" of Discord channels (rooms? I really don't know Discord. I only made the bridge to keep up with dwl).

Anyway, post something in libera.chat's #dwl (I don't have a running IRC client anymore, so I'm not "there.") And I'll post here which rooms/channels it shows up in in Matrix/Discord(-matrix-bridge).

For any others reading this issue:
Tests indicate that libera.chat's #dwl is bridged to #dwl:libera.chat in Matrix but that neither has any connection to the Discord #dwl guild.
