It can be considered as an open-source alternative to\nservices like Slack or Microsoft Teams.\n\nSince October 2023, Software Underground hosts its own Mattermost instance\nwhere the members of its community can interact.\n\n### What is this repo?\n\nThis repository contains files regarding the configuration and maintenance of\nthe [Software Underground's Mattermost instance][mattermost.swung].\n\n## Getting started\n\nIf you would like to join to our instance, you first need to [create an\naccount][create-account].\n\n### Exploring channels\n\nOnce you created an account, you'll be automatically added to a few channels,\nlike [Agora (aka general)][general] and Off-Topic.\nBut there are many more channels that you probably would like to join.\n\nTo join more channels, click on the **+** button on the top part of the panel\non the left, and then choose **Browse channels**.\n\n![Screen capture showing how to browse channels](_assets/browse-channels.png)\n\nIt will open a pop-up window with a list of the existing channels. By clicking\nin **Join** you can join to any channel you want.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"_assets/join-channel.png\" alt=\"Screen capture showing how to join a channel\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\n\n### Desktop and Mobile Apps\n\nBesides using Mattermost from your browser, you can install [Mobile and Desktop\nApps][mattermost.apps].\n\nAfter you install either of those, they will ask you which server you want to\nlogin to:\n\n- The **Server URL** is the URL of the Mattermost server we want to login to, in\nthis case: `mattermost.softwareunderground.org`.\n- The **Display Name** is just the name that will be used to list this\n  particular server in your list of servers. You can choose anything you want\n  for this, like `Software Underground`.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"_assets/app.jpg\" alt=\"Screen capture showing how to set up the mobile app\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\n### More information\n\n- Mattermost documentation: https://docs.mattermost.com/guides/use-mattermost.html\n\n\n## Creating polls\n\nIn March 2025 we installed the [`matterpoll`][matterpoll] plugin that allow us\nto create polls directly in Mattermost channels.\n\nA poll can be created by any user using the `/poll` command followed by the\nquestion and the options users can choose from. For example:\n\n```\n/poll \"Is Matterpoll great?\" \"I love it\" \"Strongly agree\" \"Yes, sure\"\n```\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e When creating a poll, post a new message with just the instruction to create\n\u003e the poll. Including the poll command at the end of a regular Markdown post\n\u003e won't create the poll.\n\nPolls can be configured to be anonymous, to show the voting results while the\npoll is still running, to allow users to vote more than one option or add their\nown custom option. Refer to [`matterpoll`][matterpoll] documentation on how to\nconfigure your poll.\n\n\n## Found a bug?\n\nIf you run into any issue while using our Mattermost instance, feel free to\nleave a comment in the [~swung-mattermost][swung-mattermost.channel] channel or\n[open an Issue in this repository][open-issue].\n\n\n[open-issue]: https://github.com/softwareunderground/mattermost/issues/new/choose\n[swung-mattermost.channel]: https://mattermost.softwareunderground.org/swung/channels/swung-mattermost\n[mattermost.apps]: https://mattermost.com/apps/\n[general]: https://mattermost.softwareunderground.org/swung/channels/town-square\n[mattermost.swung]: https://mattermost.softwareunderground.org\n[create-account]: https://mattermost.softwareunderground.org/signup_user_complete\n[mattermost]: https://mattermost.com/\n[selfhosting]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(web_services)\n[matterpoll]: https://github.com/matterpoll/matterpoll\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsoftwareunderground%2Fmattermost","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsoftwareunderground%2Fmattermost","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsoftwareunderground%2Fmattermost/lists"}
