My bad to all my tech bros and bras; I will now edit every instance of my error to techbreese

Ohhh man, I’m out of the loop, and I thought I was being helpful earlier, but I wasn’t. What’s the matrix space? It’s not the federation?

Am I getting this right that it’s like self-hosted email, but for chat? Or do we have to pick an instance to host the chat log? How do people normally go about picking? How does matrix space tie into the canvas community on toast ooo?

Surely there’s a Eli5 page or community for this matrix-space? Does matrix space go by any other name?

Thank you for your time! I already love where this is going, but don’t wanna wet my socks just yet and sign up for many things willy nilly in case I lose track :0

~~I’ve been switching between Jerboa and Liftoff, and now you’ve had this issue, I’ve downloaded Voyager. When I click on !canvas@toast.ooo in either of the three, the community opens within the app I’m using. Bug maybe? In Voyager, try searching

canvas@toast.ooo

I managed to get to it that way. Hope it helps for now ^.~~

Edit: NVM, I misunderstood instructions! I think they didn’t mean to just sub to the community, but we actually need to use a chat-style app (the matrix space?). Not lemmy?

Hi, lurker here: what is/was LORD?

Could I think of the federation as like nations giving each others’ citizens a visa, or is that too off the mark to use as a metaphor?
