This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Serious posts can be posted here and/or in /c/GenZhou.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

(The old Matrix homeserver at genzedong.org no longer exists; genzedong.xyz is the new one)

What is Matrix?

Preemptive TL;DR: Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)

Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.

How do I use it?

  1. Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on whatever device you prefer.
  2. Create an account in the client. You can select genzedong.xyz as your homeserver here; if you choose the default matrix.org, you'll need to enter an email address.
  3. Log in. Search for the room #welcome:genzedong.xyz and follow the instructions there. (Alternatively, for Lemmygrad users, make a comment here containing your Matrix account name and you'll receive an invite)

Is this still up? The homeserver, I mean

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

genzedong.org isn't, but genzedong.xyz is

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I tried making an account on genzedong.xyz, it's not working but maybe I'm just messing something up?

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the server is up, it should work if you enter it as the homeserver; if it still fails, take a screenshot when the error message appears and send it to me or @Elara

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s the thing, it doesn’t give me an error message it just does this little loading circle forever (im on the element desktop Pp)

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

odd; you could try registering using the web client at https://app.element.io just in case it's a bug in the Desktop version

figured it out, my password was too long lol

[–] Jonathan12345@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

When I press the link, it keeps loading and eventually times out. Is it down, and when will it be up?

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

yeah I think it is down I can't load any of my channels, I have my account through there

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

it may have been a server outage, it's definitely up now

is this matrix room dead/abandoned? No activity and "You do not have permission to post to this room"

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which room do you mean? The Matrix space isn't abandoned, but most of the rooms (aside from #rules and the two #vetting-answers) are only available after being invited to the space.

[–] sofa@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this one #welcome:genzedong.xyz, when I search per the instructions it drops me into welcome, not aware of any other rooms.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I see it's been resolved; for anyone else seeing this, the problem was that the instructions were drowned out by the " joined" messages

[–] Spanish_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was in there but at some point i got logged out of my account and I don't rember my password pic:crying cat icon

I guess I'll make a new one

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I see that you have taken an alternate approach to Hexbear's stickers

Question

Is General encrypted?

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

No, it being encrypted was causing issues

[–] AYJANIBRAHIMOV@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Question :

How to delete a matrix room account ?

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

if you don't have the password, you'd have to contact @Based_grandma69@lemmygrad.ml
