How to join the Yaoi Chat

This page is a placeholder until we design a nicer looking one =)

Step 1

Click this invite link: https://matrix.to/#/%23yaoi-chat:yaoi.chat

This is the 'Space' for the Yaoi Chat, like a Discord guild or a telegram server. It will bring you to the page below.

Step 2

Click Continue

This will bring you to the app selection screen, shown below. You can use any 'Matrix' app you prefer, but the go-to for most people is Element, so that's what we'll recommend and show instructions for.

Step 3

Click Continue under Element

This will bring you to the app download or link to browser version screen, shown below. For this guide, we'll use the browser version.

Step 4

Click Continue in your browser

This will bring you to the chat itself, with a popup to join the chat, shown below.

Step 5

Click Join

This will show you a popup to log in or create an account, shown below. If you're reading this, you probably don't have an account on MAtrix yet =)

Step 6

Click Create Account

This will bring you to the Matrix account creation page, shown below. First things first, you'll want to change the homeserver from matrix.org to yaoi.chat, so let's change that.

Step 7

Click Edit

This will bring you to the homeserver selection page, shown below. Type in yaoi.chat in the Other homeserver box. This makes sure you're account is created on the Yaoi Chat server.

Step 8

Click Continue

This will bring you back to the account creation screen, shown below. Notice there's no more email box, since we don't collect email addresses, only usernames. Create your account and you will be dropped into the general chat. Enjoy!
