+## Community
+
+Main hangout for the community is [Element](https://element.io/) (formerly Riot). Element is a chat
+server like, for example, Discord. Most discussions around Polkadot and Substrate happen
+in various Element "rooms" (channels). So, joining Element might be a good idea, anyway.
+
+If you are interested in information exchange and development of Polkadot related bridges please
+feel free to join the [Polkadot Bridges](https://app.element.io/#/room/#bridges:web3.foundation)
+Element channel.
+
+The [Substrate Technical](https://app.element.io/#/room/#substrate-technical:matrix.org) Element
+channel is most suited for discussions regarding Substrate itself.
