# Chat

## Matrix

If synchronous chat is your go-to for discussions and help on dev topics, there are several Matrix channels on `ipfs.io` dedicated to IPFS and related topic, it’s a great place for live chat:

- Use [`#lobby:ipfs.io`](https://app.element.io/#/room/#lobby:ipfs.io) for general IPFS usage and community chat.

In effort to decrease noise and funnel users to specific topic areas, we may want to add rooms for libp2p, ipld, multiformats ones to this list.

We also need to have a link for people interested discussing Filecoin (like https://github.com/filecoin-project/community#join-the-community), so less people will join IPFS lobby asking questions about FIL.

I wonder if it'd be worth just merging libp2p, ipld, and multiformats into #ipfs as I don't typically see a lot of activity in the other rooms. Mostly because while the topic'd rooms are more specific, and ultimately get specialised answers, I worry users might leave before they get their answer if there's little-to-no activity normally.

Definitely agree on linking to the FIL community somewhere. The FIL Slack also recently got IPFS related channels too (which are the ones bridged to the Discord/Matrix rooms).

Actually scratch that, the rooms #ipld and #libp2p are already live on the super bridge, might as well point people to them.

- Topical rooms:
- [`#ipld:ipfs.io`](https://app.element.io/#/room/#ipld:ipfs.io)
- [`#libp2p:ipfs.io`](https://app.element.io/#/room/#libp2p:ipfs.io)
- Want to chat Filecoin? [Join the community here](https://github.com/filecoin-project/community#join-the-community).

## Discord

The IPFS Matrix and Discord communities are mostly bridged. If you'd prefer to use Discord instead of Matrix, simply join [here](https://discord.gg/Z4H6tdECb9)!

## Matrix and the forums

For longer-lived discussions and for support, please use the discussion forums at [https://discuss.ipfs.io](https://discuss.ipfs.io) instead! It’s easy for complex discussions to get lost in a sea of new messages on chat, and posting longer discussions and support requests on the forums help future visitors, too.

## Getting started with Matrix

If you’re new to Matrix, there are _lots_ of mobile and desktop clients for working with it. Here are a few to get you started:
