📋 About InterChat

InterChat is a powerful Discord bot that breaks down the walls between communities by enabling real-time cross-server communication. Whether you're looking to build topic-focused communities, connect with like-minded servers, or simply expand your server's reach, InterChat provides the tools to make it happen.

With InterChat, messages flow naturally between connected servers, creating vibrant, engaged communities that transcend individual Discord servers. Our hub-based system allows you to join existing communities or create your own, while our call feature enables quick one-to-one server connections.
