Discord

🎮 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. If you got banned due to this, 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.

Communication Guidelines

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 voice/video chat rooms
• discussing development 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. And do not worry, we are trying to figure it out too.

Discord Conventions & Tips

• If you're contributing, please align your nickname/handle on Discord with your GitHub username, and include your timezone, e.g.:
  fooNickname -> myGitHubName (GMT+3)
fooNickName -> fooNickName / myGitHubName (GMT+3)

  You can change this in your Discord Settings -> Profiles -> Server Profiles.

• Please put things in the most sensible place. If we all do this, we are golden.

• Code-piece (within a line of text) use ` on either end of your code

• Code-blocks (multiline) use ```python
  then ``` on a last seperate line to end the block
  this way you will get beautiful syntax highlighting

• Use Discord Timestamps for scheduling. To get current stamps click here

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

• If you want to spawn a thread (and cannot) 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, to do this right click the thread and choose 'join'.
    This will make the thread appear under the channel, and you can see conversation in it!

• If you want your DMs alongside channels-view, you can use the Desktop Discord client and WebUI together (or simply multiple WebUIs windows)

Help

If you have read the user documentation but still need help with setting up or using AutoGPT, we have two dedicated channels to assist you:

• # 💬 help, where community members will try to help you with your issue.
• # 🤖 ask-agpt-docs, where an AI assistant will answer your questions to the best of its ability based on the user documentation.

Please don't post in the #dev- channels with questions about setting up or using the application. We do our best to be helpful, and reserve the right to remove off-topic posts.
