Recommended first steps for new members.
Not sure where to begin? Here is a simple path through the community.
1. Say hello
Head to the welcome channel and introduce yourself. Getting involved early helps you feel at home and build your level roles.
2. Read the rules
Read the rules in full. You are responsible for knowing them, and ignorance is never a defence.
3. Complete verification
Make sure you have completed verification so you have access to the whole server.
4. Pick up your roles
Visit the self-roles channel to pick up notification, device, and cosmetic roles that fit how you want to take part.
5. Explore
Browse the channels, join conversations where you’re comfortable, and follow the community rules as you go.
When in doubt about whether something is allowed — ask a staff member before posting.
