How to join chat

  • Create or sign in to a Matrix account
  • Talk to our CoreBot to get access to the chat rooms

For help with the bot, please see the CoreBot help.

Using the Web Client

Visit https://riot.hope.net/ to create an account (walkthrough), then send the bot (@corebot:hope.net) a direct message with the command ticket then your ticket code. More information

Desktop and Mobile Matrix Clients

If you wish to use your own client instead of riot.hope.net, we recommend element. It supports iOS, Android, and desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux).

You will need to set the client to use a custom homeserver of matrix.hope.net if you wish to use an account on our server. You can see a screenshot of how to do this below.

Once you are signed in to your account, send the bot (@corebot:hope.net) a direct message with the command ticket then your ticket code. More information

Wait a few minutes and try again. Make sure you're using the correct homeserver (see above)! If it's still not working, try the web client. * I'm missing a channel or I can't join a channel
Send the bot the ticket command and your code again, it will try again to invite you to rooms.
