The Discord Community!
🕑 Added 2023-11-28 10:13:18 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
A few days ago, I've asked if you were interested in joining a Discord community, and the response was overwhelmingly positive! So, I started working on creating a server for our community with two main ideas in mind:
- Creating something engaging for you, while also giving you access to more content.
- Giving access also to free members and CivitAI followers, to create an engaging and active community.
With those objectives in mind, I've started working on the server and here's v0.9:
# Channels
The channels are divided into five categories:
- Welcome Area
- Just Chatting
- AI Art
- News
- Support
These categories contains multiple channels with the following permissions:
(the eyes emoji means that you only have read permissions)
------------------------------------------
## Welcome Area
The welcome area is the starting point of the Discord server, and it is divided into three different channels:
### Welcome
Access: Public (read only)
The welcome channel is the landing channel of the server. Here you'll find all the rules and indications that you'll need to follow.
### Links
Access: Public (read only)
The links section is the fastest way to find all the shortcuts to my models and social channels. Here you'll find both free and paid content.
### Suggestions
Access: Public (only Paid Patrons can post)
This is the suggestions box. Here you can leave suggestions for everything related to my content. Other users will be able to vote a specific suggestion using reactions. If accepted a thread will be created for discussing its implementation
------------------------------------------
## Just Chatting
The just chatting section is the place to chat about anything. This means you can talk about the latest developments of AI art, but also talks about general topics. Want to talk about a specific topic without spamming the chat: create a thread based on your message!
### Open Plaza
Access: Public
The Open Plaza is the place for the entire community to hang out. Here you'll find Patrons, but also free members.
When joining the server this could be a good place to start, to see what's people talking about or just to write a greeting.
If you want to start a topic about something you can use the Discord Thread functionality. Learn more about it here. This can be incredibly useful to not flood the main chat.
### Patron's Pub
Access: Paid Patrons
The Patron's Pub is the place for my Patrons to hang out. Here you'll find Patrons from all paid tiers.
### Super Lounge
Access: Super Tier
The Super Lounge is the most exclusive place on the Discord Server. Only "Super" tier Patrons will have access to this channel. Other than talking about anything you'd like, here I'll share also some "behind the scenes" and you can also ask me anything you'd like to know.
### Memes
Access: Public (only Paid Patrons and Free+ can post)
Every Discord server is not complete without a meme channel. Here you can share your favorite AI/non-AI related memes with the rest of the community.
------------------------------------------
## AI Art
The AI Art section is the heart of the Discord Server. Here you'll be able to share your artworks with the community and join weekly challenges.
### Official Art
Access: Public (read only)
The Official Art channel is the place where I'll share official artworks made with my released and upcoming models. This will be used also as a showcase for outstanding artworks made by the community.
### Community Challenges
Access: Public
The community challenges is the place in which I'll host AI Art competitions for my community. Each week will have a specific theme for the community to follow. The most reacted artworks will also have a chance to be posted as Official Artworks.
Each challenge will have different rules, so be sure to read everything before participating.
### SFW Community
Access: Public (only Paid Patrons and Free+ can post)
The SFW community is the place for Patrons to share their art. In this channel, only pictures made with my models are permitted, everything else should be posted in the "Others" channel. Don't worry if you are a beginner or an experienced prompt engineer, this is the place to showcase your work and improve.

## News
The news section is the place where you can find everything that's going on in our community. There are two different channels here:
### Communications
Access: Public (read only)
Communications is the place in which you'll find every official communication made by me. Here you'll find a list of the latest Patreon posts, CivitAI models, and community updates.
### News Channel
Access: Bonus and Super Tiers
The News Channel is the place to stay updated on what's coming next. Here you'll find information about upcoming LoRAs, previews, models coming to CivitAI, ranbooru updates and much more.
------------------------------------------
## Support
The support section is the place where you'll find information for using my models correctly. During these months I've been asked multiple times the same questions, so here you'll be able to quickly get help to solve those issues.
There are two channels:
### Help Wanted
Access: Public
This is the channel where you'll be able to ask for help. After you have checked the FAQs, you can go here and ask help about an issue to the community.
### FAQ
Access: Public (read only)
This is the place to see the frequently asked questions and learn about the most common mistakes users usually made when working with generative models. Each issue is contained in a thread and is easily searchable using the Discord channel Thread menu.
------------------------------------------
# What's a Free+ user? How can I become one?
A free plus user is somebody who has contributed greatly to the community. Think this as a sort of way to "verify users".
So how can you become a Free+ user?
- Be active in the community: The best way to become a Free+ user is to stay active in the Discord server while following the rules. Post your pictures, help the community, and share the love!
- Join the weekly challenges: showing your skills in the challenges is a wonderful way to be recognized as a Free+ user.
- Be active on CivitAI: A fantastic way to contribute to the community is by leaving feedback and pictures on my models on CivitAI. This does not mean that you need to leave 5 star reviews on everything, be honest and tell me what you like and what you don't about my work.
------------------------------------------
# Next Steps
So, what's going to happen next? A few things actually:
- You'll start receiving invites to join the server. Once on the server I highly recommend you read the rules and leave a greeting on the Open Plaza channel. The server will be kinda empty, but content will be added as the time goes on.
- Patreon chats will be removed in favour of Discord channels. This I think it's better for everyone, as Discord make it easier to access those chats from every device possible, while also adding more functionalities.
- There will be a few challenges to create content for our Discord server (emojis, stickers...). These will be announced later.
- As this is the 0.9 version, things will probably change (and get fixed) in the next days, so feel free to leave feedback on things that are not working as intended in the "Help Wanted" channel, or if you have a suggestion leave it in the "Suggestions" channel.
- An invitation link will be posted here on Patreon
As usual thanks for your support, and I can't wait to see you on my server!
