The protocol standard is open and it is free to use or implement. Matrix is being recognized as a modern successor to the older [Internet Relay Chat (IRC)][4] protocol. [Mozilla][5], [KDE][6], [FOSDEM][7] and [GNOME][8] are among several large projects that have started using chat clients and servers that operate over the Matrix protocol. Members of the Fedora project have [discussed][9] whether or not the community should switch to using the Matrix protocol. + +The Matrix project has implemented an IRC bridge to enable communication between IRC networks (for example, [freenode][10]) and [Matrix homeservers][11]. This article is a guide on how to register, identify and join freenode channels from a Matrix client via the [Matrix IRC bridge][12]. + +Check out _[Beginner’s guide to IRC][13]_ for more information about IRC. + +### Preparation + +You need to set everything up before you register a nick. A nick is a username. + +#### Install a client + +Before you use the IRC bridge, you need to install a Matrix client. This guide will use Element. Other [Matrix clients][14] are available. + +First, install the Matrix client _Element_ from [Flathub][15] on your PC. Alternatively, browse to [element.io][16] to run the Element client directly in your browser. + +Next, click _Create Account_ to register a new account on matrix.org (a homeserver hosted by the Matrix project). + +#### Create rooms + +For the IRC bridge, you need to create rooms with the required users. + +First, click the ➕ (plus) button next to _People_ on the left side in Element and type _@appservice-irc:matrix.org_ in the field to create a new room with the user. + +Second, create another new room with _@freenode_NickServ:matrix.org_. + +### Register a nick at freenode + +If you have already registered a nick at freenode, skip the remainder of this section. + +Registering a nickname is optional, but strongly recommended. Many freenode channels require a registered nickname to join. + +First, open the room with _appservice-irc_ and enter the following: + +``` +!nick +``` + +Substitute _<your_nick>_ with the username you want to use. If the nick is already taken, _NickServ_ will send you the following message: + +``` +This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify . +``` + +If you receive the above message, use another nick. + +Second, open the room with _NickServ_ and enter the following: + +``` +REGISTER +``` + +You will receive a verification email from freenode. The email will contain a verification command similar to the following: + +``` +/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER +``` + +Ignore _/msg NickServ_ at the start of the command. Enter the remainder of the command in the room with _NickServ_. Be quick! You will have 24 hours to verify before the code expires. + +### Identify your nick at freenode + +If you just registered a new nick using the procedure in the previous section, then you should already be identified. If you are already identified, skip the remainder of this section. + +First, open the room with _@appservice-irc:matrix.org_ and enter the following: + +``` +!nick +``` + +Next, open the room with _@freenode_NickServ:matrix.org_ and enter the following: + +``` +IDENTIFY +``` + +### Join a freenode channel + +To join a freenode channel, press the ➕ (plus) button next to _Rooms_ on the left side in Element and type _#freenode_#<your_channel>:matrix.org_. Substitute _<your_channel>_ with the freenode channel you want to join. For example, to join the _#fedora_ channel, use _#freenode_#fedora:matrix.org_.
