Matrix/Element setup

Here is the Matrix and Element setup guide

To join us on our Matrix space, please follow these steps:

Register a SPLINE account via https://accounts.spline.de/register. Please use your real name as the account name, since this helps improve the accessibility and transparency of the platform. If you already have an account that you used for mattermost, you can continue using the same one.
Join the stsing-space via https://matrix.to/#/#stsing:matrix.spline.de.
Choose a matrix interface/client. The most widely used one is called "Element" and the steps to join are only shown for Element. You are welcome to use a different Matrix client but you would need to troubleshoot yourself.
You can either use Matrix in your browser or in the desktop or mobile app. Choose an app (in our case Element) to continue.
Login using your credentionals from spline. You will have to edit the "Homeserver", which and set it to matrix.spline.de.

You can join new chats (and also working groups) by clicking the arrow next to "stsing" on the left panel and choosing "Space home".

This will open a screen where all open chats of our space are listed and you are welcome to join them.

Please find further information in the following pad, which is also the welcome message in the main-chat in our Matrix space.

Q: How can I change my password? A: log in to SPLINE account via accounts.spline.de and you will find the password global settings at the top of the page.
Q: How can I change my email address? A: log in to SPLINE account via accounts.spline.de and you will find the email address global settings at the top of the page.
Q: I have some questions regarding how to use Element. A: There is a general FAQ here: https://element.io/en/help. Please remember that the things under "Account management" don't apply, since we are not using matrix.org accounts.
Q: I have another question. Whom to contact? A: Write to us in Matrix, or drop a message to Markus Hoffmann (part of the board) if you have any other questions.
