Once you have registered an <i>account</i> at the matrix you have also created a <i>profile</i> and a <i>channel</i>.

<dd>
|
|
You have <i>one</i> account. This consists of your email account and your password. With your account you access your
|
|
profile and your channel.<i>Think of your account as the way you authenticate at one Hubzilla site. It lets you
|
|
do things, such as creating profiles and channels with which you can connect to other people.</i>

|
|
You have surely registered with some other internet services, such as forums or online communities. For all of them
|
|
you provided some information about yourself, such as date of birth, country, age and the likes. Unlike other
|
|
services Hubzilla offers you the advantage of creating
|
|
<i>many more profiles</i>. That way you are able to distinguish between profiles targeted specially at everyone
|
|
(your public profile), your work mates, your family and your partner.<i>Think of your profile as the basic
|
|
information about yourself you tell other people.</i>
|
|

<dt>Channel</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
During the registration you created your first <i>channel</i>. Yes, besides several profiles you are able to have
|
|
several channels. This might be a bit confusing in the beginning, but let's clear things up. You already have
|
|
created one channel. You can use this one for the public, to communicate with people about every day life. But
|
|
perhaps you are an avid book reader and many people are bored by that. So you open a <i>second channel</i> just
|
|
for the book lovers, where you all can talk about books as much as you like. Obviously this is a new stream of
|
|
posts, with a new profile (... or new profile<i>s</i> ...) and completely different contacts. Some connections
|
|
might exist in both channels, but there will be some that are exclusive to only one of both. You yourself just
|
|
switch between both of them just like you would in real life switch when talking to people you meet on the street
|
|
or people you meet specially to talk about books. You can even connect to yourself, or better: to your other
|
|
channel. :)<i>Think of a channel as different spaces dedicated to different topics where you meet with different
|
|
people.</i>
