For those of you who don't know, the Blahaj Zone admin team runs a matrix space for gender diverse folk. Similar to lemmy, it's designed with a few "official" channels, but is otherwise a community curated space, with channels run by our members. You don't have to be a blahaj zone user to join.

If you're already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

If you're new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/

the genderverse in the matrix? neo and trinity would be proud. :')

[-] DanielleA 7 points 2 months ago

Please no😧🚨.

That's my last name. I am no bridge troll, I am a dual sword warrior goddess.

The join button isn't working.

It looks like the matrix.to redirector is having some issues. You can bypass it by just searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone within your client and joining that way

Same (using element.io). I’m in several other matrix rooms, but it seems like the JS or form action on the join button is harfed.

for the record, in fluffychat.im, i got an error but it still ultimately ended up joining when i closed out of the search window.

Thanks ada and kaity

Edit: commented on the wrong post. Oops.

I've just discovered matrix (and xmpp) and I gotta say im loving this corner of the internet more with each passing day

[-] Ultragramps 6 points 6 months ago

Just got Element for iOS and joined! ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ

Verification system is very on the nose, in my opinion.

[-] ada 27 points 6 months ago

It's necessary because we had a transphobic troll target us for a while, who would create throw away accounts, join the channel and post all sorts of horrible shit where everyone could see it.

So we needed a system that means that accounts like that aren't exposed to our main community spaces until we're reasonably confident that they're legit.

It's the same reason we use an application on this lemmy instance.

[-] krimsonbun 6 points 5 months ago

Oh that's fair

[-] AgriasArseid 5 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the post. I've been wanting to try matrix for a while, but didn't know where to start.

[-] echedeylr 5 points 6 months ago

It seems the rooms are not listed in the spaces. At least from FluffyChat.

Will check in Cinny once I return to home.

[-] ada 5 points 6 months ago
[-] oftheair 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah Fluffychat has that problem, it won't show you rooms in a space if you aren't already in them.

I am having issues, after accepting the dm invite from the bot I have not received any messages from it, UPDATE after cleaning my client's cache it worked fine

[-] ada 3 points 2 months ago

What is your matrix username? I'll get it approved manually for you!

[-] queenyeen 2 points 1 week ago

Is it still possible to register an acvount in chat.blahaj.zone ? When I try it's not an option in the server list :(

[-] ada 2 points 1 week ago

The default server reset itself when we updated cinny. You can still type in chat.blahaj.zone manually until we get it fixed!

[-] queenyeen 2 points 1 week ago

I'm a little embarrassed but: how? The list of possible servers doesn't have a blank slot.

[-] ada 2 points 1 week ago

You just delete the text and type it in. But that being said, it should be fixed now

[-] oftheair 2 points 1 week ago

We have been wondering. Is there any chance of a Signal group?

[-] ada 2 points 1 week ago

Kaity and I aren't going to run one, as it's a centralised service. However, people are welcome to create one and share the details here (or ideally, in a thread of its own for better visibility).

[-] oftheair 2 points 1 week ago

Okidoke. Thanks for letting us know!
