Setting Up Your Server

Log in to your Discord Account

• Create a server by Clicking the plus sign (+) on the left side of the screen, and selecting "Create a Server" from the dropdown menu. Give your server a name and choose a region that's closest to you for better connection speed.

To set up your server, it is recommended to create channels and roles. You can use one of the templates provided below to simplify the process and ensure that your channels and roles are organized effectively.

• Now you’ll need to create embeds for each read-only channel. For Rules, you can copy them from our premade set given below.

• Now it’s time to add some bots, that you can directly add using the Discord App Directory by going into Server Settings > App Directory

Here is a list of bots you need to add:

Mee6 (Moderation Bot)

We have linked the invite link in the names, you can directly add these bots by clicking on each of them.

How to create Embeds?

The Easiest way to create embeds is by using a bot like mee6/Dyno. But if you are looking to create a professional embed with your name and profile then you'll need to buy Mee6 premium in which you also get a bot personalizer to create a customized bot for your server.

Another way to create embeds is using webhooks. This is the best way if you are ready to do some work rather than paying for a bot.

Follow the steps below:

1. Head over to Server Settings

2. Integrations > Webhook

3. Click on "New Webook"

4. Set the bot name and channel where you want to post your webhook

5. Add a profile photo and click on "Copy URL"

After that head over to https://discohook.org/ to start setting up your embed.

1. Paste the webhook URL at the top that you copied from Discord.

2. If you want any content without Embed you can post it in the "Content" Section

3. Delete the Example embeds by clicking on "X" and click on Add embed

4. To add your logo at the top right click on "Images" in embed and select Thumbnail

5. Send your image/logo to a channel in your server and right-click on it to copy the URL

6. Paste the URL in the "Thumbnail URL" section

7. Add a Title and Description for your embed

8. Click on the "Send" button at the top to send your embed

Here's an example of how it'll look on your server:
