How to Use a OFTC-Registered Nickname on matrix.org | |||
As described here: If you have a OFTC-registered nickname and want to use it from Matrix, you can do it like this: | |||
# On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right) | |||
# Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat | |||
# Say !nick <yournick> | |||
# A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up. Accept it and identify yourself with your OFTC password (identify <password>) | |||
Voila, you'll be using your OFTC-registered nick through Matrix, being able to use multiple devices simultaneously with shared history and all! | |||
=== How to Start Private IRC Chats, like /msg or /query === | |||
On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right) | |||
Invite @_oftc_<nick>:matrix.org to the new chat (replace <nick> with the nick name. For example, to start a chat with NickServ, invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org) | |||
This works for nicks that are known to matrix.org, i.e. if the nick has never joined an IRC channel that was bridged to matrix it won't work. | |||
