tumblr ā discord cheat sheet
edgecfedenā:
this is roughly the post i wish i had when i was diving into discord a while ago and i had no idea what any terms meant relative to what i was used to in tumblr. there are probably better resources out there for this already. idk.
so from what iāve seen in discord, youāll usually have:
a server per partner. discord is mutual follows or bust, more or less
āmaking a serverā may sound intimidating but the hardest part is deciding whoās going to do it and then coming up w/ a name tbh
rping without a server and inside discord dms is possible, just might just make ooc chat awkward. itās basically rping in tumblr ims
after you make a server (big plus button on the left), youāll need to send your partner an invite to it
at least one channel in the server for ooc chat (the default #general works well for this)
roughly a channel per thread overall
channel categories to organize things w/ if you want. not required. iāve seen all sorts of permutations for ooc chats and ic threads across categories. a good starting point may be just āoocā and āicā categories. general chat and nsfw/inspo channels in the ooc category, and rp threads in the ic category. you can also do per-ship categories with channels (threads) within them
historically i think thereās been less focus on visuals as part of discord threads compared to tumblr. it was a bit more laid back because thereās not as much room for formatting in discord, and including images is a bit more awkward. that may change considering any exodus from tumblr to discord will be nontrivially centered around visualsĀ ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
basic formatting: *italics*, **bold**, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~
uhh idk, add anything you think is helpful or i may have gotten wrong!!!
Iām just going to stick a handy dandy chart in here (itās made for discord so donāt mind the examples) that shows you what you can do with the formatting.
*for italic use one of these on Ā either side* * **for bold use two of these on either side** * ***Use three on either side for bold italics*** * ~~for strikeout use two of these on either side~~ ~ `for this use one of these on either side` ` ā`whilst for this use three of them on either sideā`Ā __for underscore you use two of these on either side__ _ _You can do one of these on either side for italics too_ _ ***__ā`you can combine various ones to get something like thisā`__***
Hereās it in discord:
