Hi,
I'm willing to fix this myself, just collecting some opinions first.

I would suggest we do change all the links to Matrix-style, unless the Community system is used

I definitely support this idea!


  • 👍 Since there are several ways to "connect" to Matrix using something more generic in our Community Index sounds indeed better ;
  • 👍 The https://matrix.to/ page allows the user to choose which client he/she will use to connect to the room ;
  • 👍 We are not dependent anymore on decision made by the Matrix clients : if Riot is renamed to Element or if a client is dropped, we don't have to change anything ;
  • 👍 The https://matrix.to/ "landing page" link is indeed way cleaner than the full link (https://matrix.to/#/#osmbe:matrix.org vs https://matrix.to/#/!SqvNXrBsvdGHYRyota:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=atticstudios.be&via=gnome.org)

  • 👎 The user is not directly connected to the room but has to go through a "landing page" (that being said, I think https://matrix.to/ "landing page" is clear enough so this is not really an issue) ;
