Lix exists first and foremost for its community — and we very much hope that will include you! If you’re looking for help, have any questions, want to pitch in — or just want to talk — feel free to join us.

Our community is spread across two platforms (partially bridged), Matrix and Zulip.

If you’re mostly a curious Lix user, you’ll likely want to join Matrix first, especially if you’re more familiar with that platform. Joining is relatively straightforward — you can find us on the lix.systems Matrix server. The easiest way to connect with us is to join our Matrix space, which will allow you to see previews of and join the most relevant community rooms.

Most of our more technical discussions around development happen over on Zulip, at https://zulip.lix.systems. You need a Lix ID to participate in the conversation, but creating an Account with GitHub log in takes two clicks and you can always decouple things later. Beware: Your username will then be your GitHub username, if you want something else we recommend you create a Lix account manually, because renaming the account afterwards is a bit of a headache.

Community Standards

As part of our responsibility to community, we are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment in which our community can create great things together.

Accordingly, we’ve developed a set of community standards, which all contributors are expected to follow.

Governance

Lix is developed by a community of passionate users! Our governance and team structure is designed to be fairly minimal and lightweight. You can check it out over at About Us.
