* See [https://gist.github.com/fstab/ce805d3001600ac147b79d413668770d this guide] for freenode specific instructions | |||
# 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 (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it. | |||
# Send "REGISTER <password> <email>" to register your nickname. | |||
# "identify <password>" can be used to authenticate (in case the bridge reconnects) | |||
