Discord Actions

🌐👆 - Discord Interactions

Basic actions of the discord ecosystem.

• 🗨️ - send messages-- obviously, most commonly used for communication with humans. Here, you'll also use messages as:

  • 🔮 - chat prompts for the AI

  • 📄 - composing documents

    • Use multi-line editing by using shift + enter. This prevents you from SENDING the message until you're done editing it. Super useful!

• 🔔 - notify people (with 📱push-notifications and 🔴unread badges) of one of your messages to get their attention. Two methods:

  • @ tag the @person or @role, e.g. <@147081024784826369>, <@&1197593935401467971>

  • 📩 reply to one of that person's messages

  • use responsibly, don't annoy people. This server is asynchronous, so expect replies organically.

• 📝 - edit-- you can edit a message you sent using the ✏️ icon when you hover, or right-clicking.

  • This is a primary tool for you here, since remember: your messages are also markdown documents, and sometimes it's best to have such documents in a stable location.

  • You can also 🧨 delete messages, which is fine, but just be careful. there's pretty much unlimited room here, can always start a new message.

• 📎 - attach-- you can attach most any file to a message, images, audio, text files, code files, etc.

  • 🖼️ - images-- you can copy-paste an image or screengrab, or drag an image file in

  • 🎙️ - audio-- on mobile, you can record audio directly, on desktop you have to drag/paste a pre-recorded audio file

• 🔎 - search-- at the top of discord is a search bar. This can search the entire server, and is fairly robust.

  • If you lose track of something, this is your go-to.

• 🔗 - linking-- you can right click any message, channel, or thread to get its discord address:

  • it will look long and ugly like https://discord.com/channels/1197593935401467964/1203425739924578314/1203427002342834286

  • but when you send it, it converts to https://discord.com/channels/1197593935401467964/1203425739924578314/1203427002342834286 - EXTREMELY useful when pointing something out, connecting concepts, "turning in" work for me to look at, etc

• 😀 - emoji react-- communicate sub-verbal vibes with emoji reacts

  • but this is ALSO used to toggle #bot-instructions on and off (using the 🤖 emoji)

• 📌 - pin important messages for a channel or thread by right clicking and selecting to pin it.

  • then it will be available in that channel's pinned messages (see top-right area, next to the search bar, for the 📌 icon)

• 📁 - collapse categories - you can click a category to collapse it and minimize its presence in the vertical scroll of the server.

  • collapse all by right clicking a category and selecting it.
