+
+*Matrix has many clients and servers and other projects and finding the
+ right place to ask a question can be difficult.*
+
+I originally wanted to contribute this post to [official Matrix
+documentation], but found it too difficult to fit myself into their
+[documentation style guide], so I am typing this into my blog and linking
+[here](/matrixhelp.html) while hoping for the [official Matrix documentation]
+to replace this in the future.
+

+[documentation style guide]:https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst
+
+## General
+
+The main Matrix room is `#matrix:matrix.org`, but it's a little busy and
+it can be easier to ask in more specific room where you are often directed
+to. It's bridged to `#matrix-irc` at freenode.
+
+## Clients
+
+Riot support lives in three rooms depending on your platform:
+
+* `#riot:matrix.org` is for Riot Web/Desktop.
+* `#riot-android:matrix.org` is for Riot Android.
+* `#ios:matrix.org` is for Riot iOS.
+
+Other rooms exist for other clients:
+
+* `#matrix-ircd:matrix.org` for Matrix IRCd, a gateway for IRC clients
+    * Replaced PTO.
+* `#nachat:matrix.org` for NaChat
+* `#tensor:matrix.org` for Tensor
+* `#quaternion:matrix.org` for Quaternion (and libqmatrixclient)
+* `#weechat:hveem.no` for WeeChat matrix.lua script
+    * matrix.org address: `#weechat:matrix.org`
+    * Not to be confused with `#freenode_#weechat:matrix.org` which is
+      for the WeeChat IRC client itself.
+
+## Bridges & Integrations
+
+Room for 3rd party network bridging in general is `#bridges:matrix.org`
+which is also bridged to
+[matrix-org/bridging at Gitter](https://gitter.im/matrix-org/bridging).
+I think some bridges such as Gitter/Slack live there (please correct me if
+I am wrong!).
+
+The bridges I know to have their own rooms are:
+
+* `#irc:matrix.org` for the IRC bridge
+    * [End-user FAQ], bridged to `#matrix-irc` at freenode.
+* `#twitter:half-shot.uk` for the Twitter bridge
+    * matrix.org alias `#twitter:matrix.org`
+* `#telematrix:matrix.org` for the Telegram bridge
+    * Doesn't have primary address set, so I take the matrix.org one.
+
+[End-user FAQ]:https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ
+
+Integrations live at `#neb:matrix.org` which appears to be very little
+known even to people who have been using Matrix for a long time.
+
+## Servers
+
+I haven't been following server-side so much as I am afraid of the heavy
+RAM-requirement, but the rooms I am aware of are:
+
+* `#synapse:matrix.org` for unofficial Synapse support, but at the time of
+  typing they suggest you to ask questions in `#matrix:matrix.org`.
+* `#ruma:matrix.org` for Ruma
