Public Instances

This page lists instances that support Nickel’s Nickel-Auth authentication. These instances are authenticated through our custom server, which replaces traditional turnstile authentication with Apple’s App Attest. Because of this, instances must be manually added to the Nickel App. For a more detailed explanation of how Nickel-Auth works, visit here.
