Account channel profile chaos, confusion

What parts of the software to change the (not understood) documentation about the potentially useful concept of channels and profiles?

"Once you have registered an account at the matrix..."?

What matrix?

The 'channels manager' allows creation of channels using the green text box hyperlink 'create new'.
How to delete channels?
For the default channel, there is no option to create a profile?

Similarly, 'edit profile' does not allow profiles to be created or deleted?

Hi @od - assuming that you are on Hubzilla 8.2:

-> delete channels via /admin/channels/

-> delete profiles from "Edit profiles" -> [click profile name] -> Profile Tools -> Delete this profile

Hope that helps.

I think the term "matrix" is a leftover from the times when Hubzilla was still beta software named named Red Matrix.

In case you need an explanation for what channels and profiles are:

Open this Spoiler

As for additional profiles, these are optional and off by default, at least here.

If you want to activate them, go to /settings/features and there to Profiles at the bottom, and there ought to be the switch for multiple profiles for this channel.
