This sentence makes no sense with this link in it! This whole paragraph needs re-wording to be updated for matrix. We should not be pointing users to the IRC channel, we should be directing them to matrix. We could add a line at the end of the paragraph about the matrix channel being bridged into IRC for those who already are using IRC.

The motivation of my previous comment was not to get IRC people to switch but to tell them they can join the same channel by being in #sunpy on freenode.

much better! I would reword this slightly to make it a little clearer, maybe something like:
"If you are using IRC, you can join the same channel (bridged into matrix) by joining the (#sunpy) channel on freenode."
