Create Space

Create Space

A Space = Discord server. Holds your channels.

Option A: Migrate from Discord

Coming from Discord? Use our migrator to copy your server structure automatically:

git clone https://github.com/itsaygea/kamenchat-migrator.git
cd kamenchat-migrator
npm install && npm run build
npm start

This reads your Discord server and creates matching Matrix Spaces and Rooms.

What it copies:

  • Categories → Spaces
  • Channels → Rooms
  • Roles → Power levels

What it doesn’t copy:

  • Messages (use the Discord bridge for that)
  • Users
  • Files/attachments

Option B: Create Manually

Click + or “Create Space”

Name it → Set to Private

Then add rooms:

  • #general
  • #announcements
  • #rules

Done.

Space vs Room? Space is the server. Rooms are channels inside it.
