I've read about Matrix alot here on Lemmy, but I still can't figure out how to get it.

How do I get Matrix, how do I create rooms and how do I bridge other chats into it (I've read you could do that)?

I'm probably stupid, but how do you do this?

You just need a client like Element.io or other clients. If you don't want to connect to the main server matrix.org which is quite slow, you choose one from the federation.

People who own a server and know how to do administration tasks can install their own instance and attach it to the federation. You can use one of the Matrix server applications for self-hosting.
