We use it at work with one our partners, and I was pondering to set it up for 
a project I am involved in (no, neither KDE nor freenode) where we do not want 
to use Matrix. Do you happen to know by chance how well it bridges? These are 
a requirement  (Telegram and IRC, mostly). Documentation on that seems to be a 
bit stale / sparse, unless I am missing something.
