On the Midjourney Server

Locate and select any channel labeled general-# or newbie-#. These channels are designed for beginners to start using the Midjourney bot. The Midjourney Bot will not generate images in other channels.

On Other Servers

You can generate images with the Midjourney Bot on any Discord server that has invited the Midjourney Bot. Look for instructions on your server on where to use the Bot.

5. Use the /imagine Command

About Discord Commands
Interact with the Midjourney Bot on Discord using a Command. Commands are used to create images, change default settings, monitor user info, and perform other helpful tasks. The /imagine command generates a unique image from a short text description (known as a Prompt). Learn more about Prompts

How to Use /imagine

  • Type ‘/imagine prompt:’ in the message field. You can also select the /imagine command from the list of available slash commands that pop up when you type ‘/’.
  • Type a description of the image you want to create in the prompt field.
  • Send your message. The Bot will interpret your text prompt and begin generating the images.
  • Respect the Community Guidelines. Community guidelines apply wherever the Midjourney Bot is used.
