Yep!
I guess I could try it out. @jgrim, could you send me the code, please?
Sure thing! I'll send you a code you'll use to signup. You can signup at https://element.discuss.online. It might work in your client of choice too. Look out for a DM.
Are there some apps to use Matrix on iOS\Android\Lin\Win you'd recommend?
You cannot go wrong with https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/
https://cinny.in/ is great for Desktop environments.
For iOS you can use ElementX: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/element-x-secure-messenger/id1631335820 It's still very new but much quicker than Element. Its a rewrite and the future app that just released.

Sounds cool. Can I have a code too?
Sure, I'll send it via DM.
