Same I think the Matrix community is amazing and very welcoming. Element is really trying to build a community behind Matrix and I think they doing it with a great success. They regularly invite community members to talk in video interview (This Week in Matrix). Alternative clients are actively encouraged and promoted and small business build around the Matrix ecosystem too. Shameless plug to the Matrix client, I'm contributing too: https://invent.kde.org/network/neochat https://invent.kde.org/network/neochat

Unfortunately I'm running a very minimal arch + i3 setup now, I wonder if I can install Neochat without pulling in a whole lot of KDE dependencies? Neochat looks great by the way!

  Nheko is quite good too, I mostly use gomuks and nheko, though I regularly fire up neochat too :) Not sure which are packaged, though. You usually want the latest goodies, so AUR/flatpak it is for me.

  NeoChat only needs Kirigami (for the UI), KCoreAddons (for the about screen), KNotifications/KWindowSystem (for the notifications), KConfig (for the configuration). Probably the KNotifications dependency could be made optional without too much ifdef but I'm not sure if this is something users want.

  If you use Weechat for IRC, there is a Matrix bridge plugin that would allow you to connect to Matrix from the command line.
