🎮 Using our Discord

We use a Discord server for our users and our dev-team.

NOTE: If you just created your Discord account, you'll need to wait a couple of hours before you can join the server. This is an anti-bot security measure.

NOTE: If you got banned due to the above, it's an IP ban, so you'll also be banned on your original account. Contact our Discord admin Fergus#0042 if you're locked out and he'll sort you out.

If you're in the guild and stuck, look down the users-list for a community-mod and chat with them.

Discord is great for information that is more transient:

  • touching base and chatting with other users / devs
  • getting help / figuring out problems together
  • discussing ideas
  • hanging out in the video-conference rooms
  • discussing even advanced dev topics

GitHub is great for more-persistent information.

  • filing a bug / feature-request issue (after you've used Discord to discuss)
  • contributing persistent information to a pull-request (please still prefer to keep chat on Discord)
  • MAKING a pull-request

Do your best to figure out where to engage. We're trying to figure it out too.

Discord Conventions & Tips

  • If you're contributing, please align your nick-in-this-server with your GitHub username, and put your timezone
    e.g. fooNickname -> myGitHubName (GMT+3)
    UserSettings -> Profiles -> ServerProfiles

  • Please put things in the most sensible place If we all do this we're golden

  • Code-chunks (within a line) use ` either end of your code

  • Code-blocks (multiline) use ```python

    • then ``` to end the block
    • this way you'll get beautiful syntax hilighting

  • Use Discord Timestamps for scheduling https://hammertime.cyou/en-GB

  • If it helps someone else, react 👍 to acknowledge you've read something

  • If you want to spawn a thread (and can't) ask a community mod

  • We use THREADS.

    • If you're in a channel and want to see the threads, there's a #💬 icon on the top right of your Discord window.
    • Click it to see all the threads for this channel
    • You can JOIN a thread (right click and 'join')
      • This means the thread appears under the channel, and you can see conversation in it!

  • If you want your DMs alongside channels-view, use the Desktop Discord client and WebUI together
