    Like xuv said, it was a matter of moderation and how Matrix is much better setup for moderation. I failed to remove the mentions to the chat though, which did confuse people, sorry about that.

    for next years I would like to better connect the on-site chat with Matrix to make chatting a lot easier (and bridging a Discord server to the Matrix space)

        This would be ideal.

        It doesn’t really help to enable factions if they don’t have a mechanism to chat internally. More there’s a need to be able to reach out to ask unknown someone what they’re up to without escalating.

        Given that it’s not always easy to search up and private message someone new on another instance, and some don’t want to use Lemmy’s insecure messaging, a direct link to a secure chat would be a huge help.

        xuv and others working on the StarTrek space were able to connect and collaborate using a thread I set up on the StarTrek dedicated instance. I saw that working for c/Canada on Lemmy.ca and emulated. That doesn’t work for all however. (And as it wasn’t stickied in the main StarTrek community, not everyone saw it in a timely way.)
