👋 NEW HERE? SEEING TOO MANY CHANNELS OR NOT ENOUGH?

We’ve got quite a few channels at After Dark, and some are role-gated or optional, so you might not see everything straight away. You can customise your server experience pretty easily.

🛠️ FIRST THING TO DO

1. Head to Channels and Roles
2. Click Browse Channels
3. Follow the categories and channels you’re interested in
4. Pin the channels you want easy access to. They’ll appear at the top of your channel list
5. Mute channels you don’t want notifications from
6. Head to id:customize and check your #🎭・self-assign-roles so you can unlock the areas and pings you actually want

🎭 SOME CHANNELS REQUIRE A ROLE

Not every part of After Dark is intended for everyone, so you may need to grab a role before certain channels become visible.

Depending on what you’re interested in, you can choose roles for things like:

☕ Cozy
For our cozy chats, relaxing content and comfy corner of the server.

🕵️ Criminal Minds
For discussions around Criminal Minds and related content.

💬 Vent
For the Talk It Out / venting space when you need somewhere to let things out.

👁️ Oddities
For the weird, unusual, mysterious and interesting stuff.

🎮 Gaming
For game-specific channels, events and gaming pings.

🎨 Art
For sharing artwork, creative projects and art-related discussions.

🃏 TCG / Collectors
For Pokémon TCG, collecting and other card-related conversations.

🔔 WANT THE PINGS?

Make sure you grab the relevant notification roles in id:customize.

This means you can get notified about the things you actually care about without having @/everyone constantly going off.

🔒 WHY CAN’T I SEE A CHANNEL?

If you can’t see something, don’t panic! 😂

It’s probably one of three things:

🔹 You haven’t followed the channel/category yet
Check Browse Channels.

🔹 It requires a role
Head to id:customize and check the available #🎭・self-assign-roles

🔹 It’s intentionally private/role-gated
Some areas are only available to specific groups or roles.

Basically, you don’t need to follow everything. Build the server around what you actually want to see. 🖤

If you’re still missing something you think you should have access to, open a ticket and we’ll help you out.

✨ Recent Server Updates! ✦

Hey everyone! 💕 A few little updates have been happening around the server, so here’s what’s new!

🎮 Palworld & Minecraft Categories

We’ve moved Palworld and Minecraft into their own dedicated categories!

If you can’t see them, please make sure you have the appropriate roles assigned. 💜

🦖 Palworld

Palworld now has server status notifications! You’ll get notified when the server is:

🟢 Online
🔴 Offline
🔄 Restarting

This is still undergoing some testing, so if you happen to get spammed with notifications, I apologise! 😭

I do try to hide the channel whenever I’m testing things, but sometimes things may slip through hehe.

⛏️ Minecraft

The Minecraft server is still very much a work in progress! 🫶

We want to build something that’s actually special, fun, and works properly with mods hehe. 💜

This one will probably take a little while, but we’re hoping it’ll be worth the wait!

🎀 Cozy Corner

NEW CHANNEL! 💅✨

I wanted to make a little space for all things girly — nails, makeup, skincare, outfits, cute finds, and anything else you want to share!

If there’s another channel you’d love to see added, let me know! I’m always happy to add things that the community would actually use. 🥰

👑 New Server Ranks!

We now have ranks you can earn just by being active and engaging in the server! ✨

The more you chat and participate, the higher you can climb! 🌙

Here are the current ranks:

🌙 Level 5 → New Moon
✨ Level 10 → Night Owl
🌌 Level 20 → Starlight

👑 Level 75 → Darkside Royalty
