Hey! My updated guide for 2024, featuring discord's latest features and a bot that ISN'T shut down 😅 is out now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iF6tZJmfd9psd5o

Thanks for the video of the ultimate discord setup for the server and the link to your server now I want to be your friend.👌✅😇

[@bigman-st5xb]

If you also want to be his friend then go to the link to the server! Thanks for the support and I hope y'all have a good day at your discord setup.

That’s messed up, its not funny actually

[@MartinGraham]

I followed you, using the pause button a lot, but that's ok, and i set up my first server exactly as you said. you are brilliant, thank you so much. i'm setting up a server for sharing internrational coaching ideas. i'm also 60 years old and this is my first time watching - geekitude, and everything worked exactly as you had described and shown. just brilliant. joining your server too. martin

[@Gehsture]

Thank you so much for the kind words Martin! I wish you the best of luck with your server!

[@theonepeaceisreal]

nah jits 60

[@oldmanstillcan]

Right on #oldmanstillcan and I mean that as a compliment, working on my own channel to show that age is just a number and you gotta keep moving physically and mentally to live a good life.

[@HXD90]

@@Gehstureare admins able to make themselves the owner and take over the server?

[@Gehsture]

@@HXD90 no, there can only be 1 owner of a server and admins can't give it to themselves, only the owner can transfer ownership to someone else

[@Gehsture]

Unfortunately, Libertas (the bot featured in this video) has announced today that they are shutting down the bot on November 12th, 2023. I went over how to setup a few things with this bot in the last segment of the video, 22:27 - 28:24. I have a different video out on a great alternative you can use, Sapphire, which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onW6g2Ceaph-pas . This should be more than enough to get you a good utility bot setup in your server, and I even cover a bit more in that video than I did in this one!

[@ChrisOnRockyTop]

Just found your video. I can usually set up a server but I'm slow so this is good for step by step so I don't forget things as I can just watch it alongside my server creations. You wouldn't happen to have an updated MEE6 Tutorial would you? Haven't messed with that bot yet and I'm sure they've added things over the years. Every server I have been in has a MEE6 bot. Thanks again!

[@Gehsture]

@@ChrisOnRockyTop I done have one for mee6 no. I usually don't recommend it to people anymore because it's SO limited on features unless you are willing to pay for premium. If you are looking for a great free solution, Sapphire that I have linked in the pinned comment here is the best in terms of feature value for free. If you are willing to pay, mee6 does have the biggest feature library, but it's just all locked behind a paywall nowadays.

[@ChrisOnRockyTop]

@@Gehsture Many thanks! I actually just noticed MEE6 was terrible in terms of free features after commenting and then adding it to my server. It's definitely very limited. I've heard good things from Yagpdb. Would you recommend them over Sapphire? Or you think Sapphire is still the best freebie?

[@GNT-INPHINITHY]

😂😂 i just found a feature i needed amd its shutdown 😮

[@lovemesometunes9622]

Wish we had someone like you on our volunteer team! We have a 30+ million member music community, but nobody to set up a Discord server for us. We should quality for Partner status and all that stuff. Not sure how to get in touch with people privately on here, but let me know how to reach you if you want details.

[@KungPaoPenny]

Hi Gehsture, i just wanted to say thank you for such an in depth video. I liked. I subbed. I watched til the end. It should be required lesrning for any creator who has a Discord. Im so happy i found you and your channel. 😊

[@Gehsture]

Thank you so much! I wish you luck with your server and hope some of my content helps you add some great things to it!

[@pleasantly24]

saw the cam and never clicked so fast ur def legit

[@MarcosDinnerstein]

Really thorough job. (I know you jumped past many features) We're having an experienced Admin redo our server and this tutorial will let me begin to ask the right questions and be sure we haven't missed something we want to include in our upgrade.Thanks!

[@theyluvvvcassy]

where did you happen to find an admin to do your server ?

[@Wak.]

Literally made so much more sense to me, I can have a legit gaming server now

[@_nugget1]

If you don't want to write out word by word of discord rules here are some main ones: 1) Be respectful This means no mean, rude, or harassing comments. Treat others the way you want to be treated. 2) No inappropriate language Use of profanity should be kept to a reasonable minimum. Any derogatory language towards any user is prohibited. Swearing is permitted in casual channels only, while the official help and code channels should be kept free of any profane language. 3) No spamming Do not send a lot of small messages right after each other. These disrupt chat and make it hard to scroll through the server. Please keep your messages at least 5 words long while chatting. 4) No pornographic/adult/other NSFW material The idea behind the server is to provide a safe place for us to share art, videos, and other kinds of creative material - not to share the aforementioned NSFW material. 5) No advertisements No invasive advertising, whether it be for other communities or streams. You can post your content in the media channel if it’s relevant and provides actual value for the community. 6) No offensive names and profile pictures Keep your names and profile picture appropriate. 7) Server Raiding Server raiding is against the Discord terms of service. Any attempt to circumvent or bypass them can result in a permanent ban. 8) Threats are forbidden Threats are prohibited and disallowed. 9) Follow the Discord Community Guidelines Respect the general Discord Community guidelines. 10) No racism

Bruh, yall quit asking him to make a server for yall!!! It’s time consuming and just because he’s great at it doesn’t mean he has time to make servers for random people. You can pay someone to do it for you if you’re too lazy to learn yourself. Be respectful and grateful he took the time to make the video.

[@Gehsture]

There's been a lot of comments about the welcome screen - Discord is transitioning to a new feature called "Server Onboarding" and doing away with the welcome screen. It's actually a super cool feature, and you can checkout my full video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmTYk5tvadSmbNE
