Whoops: Looks like I missed a NINA #announcements update 4 days ago!
NINA and Escargot #announcements — August 22, 2025 at 3:59 PM (EST) [tonyshowoff]
This week is some updates and fixes, a lot to prepare for a new service (sneak peak below) we're launching probably next week, it's a smaller one but certainly a throw back, but unless you're a supporter, you'll have to wait for more details.
Speaking of supporters, we still need to raise $1,180 to meet our fundraising goal and it's important because we've really got to get it by the end of the month. So, help out if you can: https://nina.chat/donate/ rewards start at $2 and every dollar counts. If you can't then spread the word about all of our services and whatever else you like about us.
Updates:
• Community: A new and improved version of the community introduction is now on the wiki and is highly suggested reading for all new users: https://wiki.nina.chat/wiki/Introduction
• Account: You can now more easily "recruit" new users to the network. It's really easy, just add /?r=yourusername to the end of nina.chat or escargot.chat when linking to someone else, if they register later, you'll be marked as their recruiter. We'll do some cool stuff with this soon, but for now you can just see how well your promotion is going. Learn more by logging into your account and going to "Recruiting" under "Community".
• Account: Speaking of Community, we also have a rudimentary profiles with searching. We have replaced the #contacts channel with https://nina.chat/contacts/ and https://escargot.chat/contacts/. You can fill out this information by going to "Profile" under "Community" in your account. It's still in very early stages and is fairly rudimentary with more features to come soon.
Fixes:
• WebAPI: Crashing issue caused by invalid URL request now fixed (reported in detail by supporter loganh4005)
• Account: Invalid URLs on registration page fixed
• Account: Legacy password being reset during account login now fixed (reported by europa). Keep in mind if your account had this issue, it will reset one final time the next time you login, just change it back.
What about the new service: Following the post, there are 2 screenshots. The first is a partial SS of the recruiting page. The next screenshot, however, is quite the throwback...

NINA Napster was first officially announced in #supporters-general (NINA Discord) on August 12th. I've been anxiously awaiting for this moment to post about it! If you're not a Supporter yet, check their donate link above for more info!
