1. On the left column are your “servers” and DM chats. After clicking on the server, the “channels” (text and voice chats) will be listed in the middle. (See Left image below)
2. Click on the channel you wish to open. I clicked “social-chat” on the SML server. (See Middle image below) The 3 lines in the top left corner will take you back to the screen shown in the left image.
3. If you receive a DM & have a channel open, it will notify you in the top left corner. (See Right image below)
Your DM will show up at the top of the server list as seen in the image on the Left below.
4. Want to send someone a DM? Click the icon to the top right. (See Left image below)
Then you will see all the members in the server alphabetically with those who are currently online at the top. (See Middle image below)
Click the person you’d like to DM. Then the option to send a DM will pop up under the user profile. (See Right image below)
5. Need to edit, post an emoji reaction, delete, copy or reply to a message? Hover over the message & hold down your finger for 1 second. Then the options will pop up. (See image below)
6. Want to post a GIF? Click the ‘smiley mofo’ at the bottom right of the message box. (See Left image below) That will open up the option to search for and post gifs. (See Right image below)
Notifications:
7. There are ‘server specific’ notifications as well as ‘channel (chat) specific’ notifications.
For server notifications, click the 3 dots in the top right corner. (See Left image below)
From there you have the option to access the server notifications. (See Middle image below)
Once you have accessed the server notifications, you will have different options available. (See Right image below)
8. You can also choose ‘channel (chat) specific’ notifications. You may not want to use these options. All channels will be defaulted to your ‘server specific’ notifications if they are unchanged. If you DO wish to change these see below.
To open those you should be in the specific channel and be able to see members as you did above. (See Left image below. Refer to topic #4 about DMs if you forgot how to navigate here.)
Click on Settings with the cogwheel icon to open up the channel options. From there click on the notification settings. (See Middle image below)
From there you have the option to Mute/unmute the entire chat channel within a server. You can also choose to receive All messages, Only @ mentions, or Nothing. (See Right image below)
