Is there a low-friction way to give Matrix a try? Like a Hacker News channel that you can join with a web client or something?

Riot is a popular Matrix client and a good place to start., pointing your browser at https://riot.im/app/#/welcome

I'm unaware of a hacker news matrix channel (perhaps others can enlighten me), but joining the Matrix HQ channel (https://riot.im/app/#/room/#matrix:matrix.org) is a good place to learn more about Matrix.

There's https://riot.im/app/#/room/#hn:matrix.org, but it's sadly very dead and not bridged anywhere useful. Is there actually a good chat community for HN anywhere?
