multichannel, called **Multichan** or **Multich** is a [[2020]]- public domain experiment to add cool new features to the [[textboard]] concept. 

It features:
  * Federation 
  * [[Tripcode]]s
  * Thread tagging
  * pseudo-boards
  * Atom feeds 

===== Features explained =====
The initial thread view is just a big index of threads, like this example on [[https://0chan.vip/threads/|0chan]]. 
But it can be filtered based on [[https://0chan.vip/tags/|tags]] (e.g., [[https://0chan.vip/tags/internet+nerd/|internet+nerd]]), or by which board a thread was originally posted to (e.g., [[https://0chan.vip/threads/local/|local threads]]). Every site, filtered view (tag or by host), and thread has an accompanying [[rss|Atom feed]], which means that topics / discussions can easily be subscribed to by different apps or consumed into different chat services. 

This board is a //pseudo-imageboard// because links to images on an [[vip|approved host]] will be embedded

A variety of moderated [[http://0chan.vip/b/|"psuedo-boards"]] are made by associating a password with a tag, and the person who claimed the tag can then write a custom "message of the day" above their thread list, hide threads, and hide comments *within the pseudo-board view*. The actual threads and comments will not be affected. 

**Some relevant discussion boards:**
  * [[http://0chan.vip/b/gikopoi|/gikopoi/]]
  * [[http://0chan.vip/b/tanasinn|/tanasinn/]]
  * [[http://0chan.vip/b/neet|/neet/]]

Alas, there is no [[SJIS]] art on 0chan, because the admin is a [[fascist]].
===== Community =====
The federation used to be ~7 servers working together until an internet terrorist struck in July of 2020. The entire network was crippled, save for one [[https://ripirc.org|lone server]] that still preserves an archive of //what was//. The flagship board, 0chan.vip, was resurrected in October of 2021 to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the project. 

You can join the [[irc]], [[Matrix]], or [[Discord]] to chat with some members of the [[multichan]] community.
