Explore the channels of Web3, why do people in the currency circle love to use it? Discord Teaching (Part 2): Nine Common Pain Points, Incurable Disease Search

In the last article, we introduced what is Discord? And the reasons why people in the currency circle love to use it. Then start the newbie, join your first server (DC group) - take <brain brother chill block chain for example - and navigate all the channels (small rooms).

If the "DC group" is likened to LINE, the "channels" in it are small rooms, so that group members can discuss different topics separately.

And this article will explain more details about Discord. I actually interviewed many users and asked them to recall what intractable problems they encountered when they were new to Discord? Collected into nine pain points to share with you, I hope you will take less wrong road.

Use Discord to search for pain points

1. Why can't I see other channels (small room)?

Generally speaking, when you join a new DC group, you cannot see all channels (small rooms). You must first do a verification (Verify) to prove that you are a living human (not a robot), so be sure to read the rules first, and Complete specific requirements .

Some DC groups, such as <brain brother chill block chain> , allow new users to click on an emoji icon to confirm that you have read it before you can obtain a specific identity group (identity badge), which means that you have passed the identity authentication, and you can browse the group from now on. Most of the channels (except administrator/private channels); some DC groups use private messages to let new users complete the test level, and the verification robot will review whether they are released; some DC groups need to check whether you hold a certain NFT , the concept of admission tickets.

In short, different DC groups have different verification methods. Please read the public instructions (version rules) carefully before joining the group.

2. How to prevent fraud?

There are countless scams on Discord that will use random guns to attack birds, pretending to be community administrators, verification bots, or your friends to privately message you

The prevention method is to click the avatar in the lower right corner of the main screen, enter "Privacy & Security", and turn off "Allow Private Messages from Server Members". At this time, the system will ask you if you want to apply this setting to all existing servers? It is recommended to select "Yes".

Now that we have turned off the "overall" setting, the entire Discord software is applied, which means that all non-friends cannot private message you. If there are special needs - such as the verification requirements just mentioned - you can open private messages in "individual" DC groups . The way to open it is to click the "..." to the right of the DC group name, and then open "Allow Private Messages".

3. How to invite friends "correctly"?

Sometimes, in order to participate in the event, the project team will probably ask you to do tasks on the "Liver White List", such as inviting a few friends to join the server, so we will also master this skill.

 Whitelist is like an event invitation card, which expresses positively who is eligible. In some of the most popular NFT projects in the currency circle, holding a whitelist status means that you will definitely buy it.

Take " Brother Brain Chill Blockchain " as an example, click the "Invite" button, then "Edit Invitation Link" to change the validity period from the predicted "7 days" to "Never", "Save" in the upper right corner and return to the previous page. In this way, the link will not expire, so you can use it with confidence!

4. What is "invoicing"?

Maybe the name is different. There is a small room that is often in a Read Only state. After entering, you will see the Tickets robot, and it also comes with a button . What is this supposed to do?

This is a private message window with the DC group administrator, which is equivalent to contacting customer service. Through the "Create Ticket" method, you can leave a one-to-one message that only administrators can see, avoiding your voice being washed out.

5. What should I do if I join too many DC groups?

As more DC groups are added, there are more and more "small circles" on the left interface. You can drag and drop them like mobile apps , and even stack them to form folders - expand, collapse, and set their names and colors.

6. How to modify personal information?

There are many settings in Discord, all of which allow users to make adjustments in the "whole software" or "individual DC groups" . This operation logic will continue to appear in the future. Let's focus on personal data modification first.

The first way is to make revisions for the "overall", click on the avatar in the lower right corner of the main screen, enter the "User Profile", and easily change the photo and profile.

The second way is to fine-tune "individually". For example, go to the <brain brother chill block chain> , click the "⋯" to the right of the DC group name, and scroll down to find "edit server profile". Users of the free version can only modify the nickname. Then click "Save" in the upper right corner.

 If you want to change more (avatar, banner, profile), you have to unlock Nitro, which is a subscription service provided by Discord. There are two monthly fee models, and the full function can be found on the official website.

In short, you can display different nicknames in different DC groups for free , which is a very commonly used function. If this still can't meet your needs, then you have to "study money"!

7. How to strengthen account security?

If logging into major platforms is likened to "opening a vault", your account and password are the first door, then two-factor authentication (2FA) is the concept of "second door", which can make the vault more secure. Relatively easy to hack .

The specific method is to find "Enable Two-Factor Authentication" from "Account", and the system will ask you to enter the password you normally log in to Discord for confirmation.

Next, we have to prepare an authenticator App, such as Google Authenticator and Authy. For the operation and comparison of the two tools, please refer to this article written before; follow the operation below, Discord will give you a set of passwords Bind the key to the authenticator. When encountering a situation that requires "second door" authentication in the future, open the authenticator to view, copy and paste the dynamically generated security code.

8. How to reduce the "Little Red Dot"?

In order to prevent the "Little Red Dot" notification from exploding, it is recommended that every time you join a new DC group, find "..." to the right of its name, and check "Notifications" as "@mentions only", so that you will only receive To tag your own message, reduce the visual burden.

9. What do the patterns "#" and "📌" mean?

There are a lot of small rooms in a DC group, and there are bound to be a few that you visit more often.

As a newcomer, I don't want to miss important information from the past. After we enter the small room, we can click the room name above, check the "discussion thread" and "pin selection", maybe we can dig a treasure!
