Matrix

Matrix is an open, federated chat network — group chats and DMs on servers run by communities, not rented from a platform. Anyone can run a server, servers talk to each other, and conversations are end-to-end encrypted. Nether runs its own: nether.im.

Start here

Got an invite? → Connect with Vommet — the step-by-step setup guide.

Want in? → Joining nether.im — ask an existing member for an invite; this page covers who we’re looking for.

Just exploring Matrix? → Recommended homeservers — good public servers with open registration. You can join our public rooms from any of them.

What we offer

nether.im is a small, moderated homeserver for the Nether community — a tight-knit 18+ crowd of creatives, intellectuals, psychonauts, and furries. Membership is invite-only: an existing member invites you, and everyone agrees to the Code of Conduct. We host our own rooms and federate with the rest of the Matrix network, and we run it the way we run everything: privacy-respecting, transparent, no ads, no data mining.

Bring your community with you

Moving a community to a new protocol is hard when half of it won’t budge. Bridges fix that: Matrix can connect to the networks your people already use, so the conversation continues across both while folks try Matrix at their own pace.

We offer hosted nether-voicebridge instances — a bidirectional voice bridge between Matrix calls and Discord voice channels, and as far as we know the only voice bridge anyone offers. You can set one up yourself over DM — and we’ll personally help you set up text bridges to Discord, Telegram, IRC, Signal, and friends. Ask via help.
