Hey Mods and Admins,

We're here with an update to make it more clear how we categorize the different types of servers, how to recognize them, and what you can expect in those spaces.

💠 Friend Server
Friend Servers are invite-only spaces designed to discuss, connect, and share with your friends or smaller groups. Invite links in Friend servers will expire at a maximum of 30 days, though previously created non-expiring links will remain active and functional.

Friend Servers who wish to have access to Community features https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047132851-Enabling-Your-Community-Server may opt-in to become a Community Server at any time in server settings.

💠Community Server
Community Servers are spaces designed for people to share, connect, and learn from others all over the world who share common interests. Moderators in Community Servers have access to tools like Server Insights, Raid Protection, Rules, and Onboarding.

Becoming a Community Server does not mean that anyone can find or join your server. Prospective members have to be sent an invite link.

💠Updating Server Badging
In order for users to know what type of server they’re in, we’ve introduced badges for Community Servers.

We will display a distinct server badge if the server is a
* Community Server
* Discoverable Community
* Partnered Server
* Verified Server

Hovering over the badge will provide more detailed information about the server type, whether anyone can join the server, and the Boost level. Communities that previously had the “Public” tag will now have a “Discoverable Community” badge (denoted by a globe).

For more information on our approach to safety across server types, please visit our Safety Center. https://discord.com/safety/360043709612-our-policies

Hey Admins and Mods,

Since 2015, every Discord username has been cAsE sEnSitIvE and had a number attached to it called a discriminator (e.g., #0001). This lets you have the same username as someone else as long as you have different discriminators or different case letters. However, this also means you have to remember a set of 4-digit numbers and account for case sensitivity to connect with your friends.

✨We wanted to make it easier for you to identify and add your friends while preserving your ability to use your preferred name across Discord. So, we are removing discriminators and introducing new, unique usernames and display names. ✨

💠 New usernames are lowercase, alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have discriminators, making them easier to remember, read, type, and share. Now, rather than having to remember “PhiBi#8936,” you just say “I'm phibiscool” and that’s it. Your new username will be unique to you, and when friends try to add you there won’t be any mistakes of the wrong discriminator or incorrect letter casing.

💠 Display names are what’s shown both to your friends and in communities. Think of them as server nicknames that work globally across Discord. You can change it whenever you want, and it can be whatever you want, including special characters, as long as it follows our Community Guidelines https://discord.com/guidelines. If a username you were eyeing gets taken before you can claim it, no worries — you can still use it as a display name.

📩 When you’re eligible to change your old username and claim a new username, you’ll be notified in-app. The older your Discord account, the sooner you will become eligible to pick a new username. 📩

Visit our blog https://discord.com/blog/usernames to hear from one of our founders about why usernames are changing. To learn more about usernames and display names, check out our Help Center Article https://dis.gd/usernames for all the details.

Discord a while ago added the ability to do what we do, with our “Our server options” chat, but embedded within discord instead of using a bot. Due to this I wanted to bring a question to this community to get some feedback on our next steps.

Should we start switching over to discords new embedded system or continue using our bot for server management?

✨Keep what we have, it works why change?

🤩Switch to discords new version because it’s good to keep up with new tech!

Hey Admins and Mods,

Beginning on March 31, over the next several weeks we will start to roll out a new feature called Soundboard. This feature will let users upload custom short sounds to their servers, and then use those sounds to communicate in Voice Channels.

Click here to learn more about soundboard: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/12612888127767-Soundboard-FAQ#h_01GTYZSTZQV1GXSRVX1A420WPX

To help you keep your server safe, we have already released some new permissions around Soundboard. You can now access and configure these permissions directly from Server Settings:
- Use Soundboard: Determines who in your server is able to use soundboard.
- Manage Expressions: Determines who in your server is able to upload and manage sounds.

Visit the help center article linked above to read more about Soundboard permissions!

Peace and Love,
Discord Team

Improvements to Server Insights!
Dates should be more accurate.
Conversations in Forum Channels will contribute to Engagement metrics, and now you can see joins via Student Hubs, Integrations, and Bots.
The requirement to be a Communicator has been increased from 1 to 3 messages sent per week. This only applies to the Engagement tab and doesn’t impact Partner requirements.

Forum Channels now with Gallery View!
Gallery View gives posts in image-heavy Forum Channels like #fanart and #pet-pics room to shine - easily toggle between List View and Gallery View at any time.
With this update, Forum Channels are now officially available on all Community servers!

AutoMod keeps getting better!
Alongside more Custom Rules, we’ve added Allowlists to your custom rules! Messages containing anything you’ve added to your Allowlist will not be flagged by AutoMod.
We’ve also added the ability to filter messages using RegEX in your custom rules. (https://dis.gd/RegEXHC)

Discord has added a bot library that they support! With this change I am going to switch out some of our music bots.

Bots Removing:
- Rythm
- Rythm 2
- FredBoat

Bots Adding:
- SoundCloud
- Vocard

The command symbol will be / and because the bots are integrated into discord, you'll be able to pick which bot you use in the / discord menu that comes up. These 2 bots have been tested and they are great quality and as easy to use, or easier, than the current music bots!

keep in mind, that all our voice and music chats are free to use! If you do not want to have your music interrupted by ads of other people talking, Our "music only" chats can be found in "Our server options" reacting to "Music and Relaxing", "Artist", or "Artist Viewer".

Thank you again for being apart of Zellonia! If there is anything we can do to better improve your experience in our server let us know HERE: https://discord.com/channels/412657478141083649/432903254469246976
