Can you add Midjourney Bot to your Discord server?

Midjourney Bot presents an exciting opportunity to infuse your Discord server with AI-generated artistry. From breathing life into channels with vivid visual content to sparking engaging conversations, Midjourney can be a valuable addition.

However, a lot of people ask the question: can you integrate Midjourney Bot into your Discord community? Fortunately, the answer is a resounding yes! By following a few simple steps, you can harness the power of AI art generation within your server environment.

Let's take a look at how you can add Midjourney to your own server from scratch.

How to join Midjourney on Discord

Before you can start using Midjourney Bot on your server, you'll need to join the Midjourney community on Discord. The entire process is quite simple, and should only take a few minutes.

If you don't already have a Discord account, sign up for one. If you're an existing user, log in to your account to proceed.

Next, visit the official Midjourney website or search for "Midjourney Discord" on your preferred search engine.

Look for an invitation link that leads you to the Midjourney Discord server. Press “Continue” and you’re good to go.

How to add Midjourney Bot to Discord

Adding Midjourney Bot to your Discord server is a straightforward process.

Ensure you're logged into your Discord account and have administrative privileges for the server you wish to add Midjourney to.

Next, follow these steps to seamlessly integrate Midjourney into your community:

Step 1: Locate and select Midjourney Bot

Once you’ve logged into the Midjourney server, you will find “Midjourney Bot” on the right hand side of your screen (in the “users” section.) Double click on the profile.

Step 2: Click on “Add to Server” and authorize the Bot

Once you have selected the profile, a new pop-up will appear, where you can simply press “Add to Server.”

Midjourney Bot will require authorization to access your server. This is a standard security measure that ensures the bot functions as intended.

Step 3: Select your server

Finally, choose the Discord server you want to add Midjourney to. Confirm the selection and grant the necessary permissions.

You must already have a server created on Discord, and have the necessary access to manage or update settings.

Midjourney Bot is now part of your server! You'll see it as part the member list, just like how it appears on the right-hand side on the official Midjourney server.

Is Midjourney free?

Unfortunately, Midjourney has transitioned from offering free trials to being a paid-only service.

In its initial release in July 2022, Midjourney provided users with the opportunity to generate up to 25 images at no cost. This trial period was easily accessible – by signing up for a free Discord account and joining the Midjourney server, users could activate the trial simply by initiating their first prompt. However, due to abuse of the free trial, the founding team chose to make the platform paid-only.

The good news is: Midjourney Bot can be added to your Discord server at no cost if you have paid for it, providing you with a range of AI-generated art tools. Since you get a set number of credits, anyone can use it on your server until your credits run out.

How to use Midjourney on Discord

Once Midjourney Bot is successfully integrated into your server, you can begin using its AI art generation features. Alternatively, you can just use Midjourney’s official Discord server to generate your next masterpiece.

Engage your community with captivating visuals by following these steps:

1. Open Midjourney in Discord

On the left-hand side of Discord, locate and click on the Midjourney icon.

If you are opening the Midjourney server on Discord, identify and select a channel labeled either "#general" or "#newbie". These designated channels cater to beginners and are tailored for initiating your interaction with the Midjourney bot.

It's important to note that the Midjourney Bot's image generation capabilities are limited to these specific channels, ensuring a streamlined experience for users.

Alternatively, If you are using the Midjourney Bot on your own server, simply use the “/imagine” command.

2. Using the /imagine command

Engaging with the Midjourney Bot on Discord is facilitated through commands. Commands allow you to execute various actions, such as image creation, adjustments to settings, user monitoring, and more.

To initiate the image creation process, employ the "/imagine" command. This can be done by directly typing "/imagine prompt:" in the message field or selecting the command from the list of available slash commands that appear when you type "/".

Subsequently, provide a concise description of the image you intend to create within the designated prompt field. Upon sending the message, the Midjourney Bot will interpret your description and initiate the image generation process, producing a unique visual output.

3. Generate your desired image

After submitting your text prompt, the Midjourney Bot will commence processing your request. Within a span of approximately one minute, the bot will generate four distinct image options.

The image generation process involves the utilization of advanced Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and each image produced contributes to the GPU time allocated as part of your Midjourney subscription. Monitoring your available GPU time is facilitated through the "/info" command.

4. Upscale and create variations

Once the initial image grid is generated, you'll notice two rows of buttons situated beneath the grid. These buttons, identified by the "U1," "U2," "U3," and "U4" labels, facilitate certain actions.

In prior iterations of Midjourney, these buttons were employed for image upscaling. The "U" buttons serve the purpose of isolating your chosen image from the grid, enabling convenient downloading and access to supplementary editing and generation tools.

5. Experiment and share

Experiment with different commands to generate AI-generated art pieces. From imaginative landscapes to abstract compositions, Midjourney offers a diverse range of possibilities.

When you’re satisfied with your new creation, share the generated art with your server members, encouraging discussions and interactions around the creative output. You can also download the image to use anywhere as it is copyright-free and you are the owner of all your generations.

Can you use Midjourney without Discord?

As of now, Midjourney's only platform for interaction is Discord. It is tailored to enhance the visual experience within Discord communities, fostering creativity and engagement.

While Midjourney's features are optimized for Discord servers, the developers may explore expanding its compatibility to other platforms in the future.

Discord comes with its own risks. It can block your account for no reason (see https://news.ycombinator.com/ite...). Overall, Discord is good for starting out, for making an MVP. But not as a fundamental tech for your product.
