Where to find it

Group-of-people icon → Join Group

A group has its own address, for example treff@gruppen.dinox.im. Ask for the complete room address and any password. The part after @ may differ from your account address. Public rooms and private groups have different access rules.

Encrypted groups need suitable room settings and members’ device keys. Selecting a lock does not automatically make a public room private.

What to do

Open the group icon. Select a saved group or enter the room address.
Choose your account, room nickname and, if needed, the room password.
For a new room, choose “Add Group”. The server determines whether you may create a room.
After joining, read the topic, member list and any notice about visibility of your address.

What do the choices mean?

New group: address, alias and nickname

The room address identifies the room. Alias is your local display name for it. Nick is the name you use inside the room. An optional room picture can be selected in the form.

Private Room

Select deliberately when creating a room. DinoX requests the required private-room settings and checks the server result. Rejection or unconfirmed configuration does not mean a successfully private room.

Find rooms

The magnifier in Join Group opens the room browser. Browse offered server rooms there; the additional public search also searches outside your server after at least two characters. A result is something to inspect, not a room recommendation.
