Matrix

Nether runs its own Matrix homeserver. Matrix is an open, federated, end-to-end-encrypted chat network — group chats and DMs you control, not rented from a platform.

The homeserver

Our homeserver is nether.im. Once you’ve been invited, point a Matrix client at nether.im and sign in — we recommend Commet. A setup guide is coming soon.

Getting in

Nether is invite-based and currently in closed beta — we’re a small, moderated community and aren’t set up for open registration. We welcome applications from people with an established, good-faith presence in the communities we’re part of: known artists (Inkbunny and elsewhere), established members of the furry fandom, and folks active in programming and tech circles.

Membership is 18+, and everyone agrees to our Code of Conduct.

Ways to apply: [application channels — coming soon].
