discord threads what are discord threads how to activate discord threads how
to secure discord threads how to create participate in and archive discord threads
and finally how to resurrect discord threads i'm Y0ken from Y0ken's Domain of great games
and guides covering everything you need to know to get started with threads in your discord server
first things first what are discord threads discord threads are temp channels
of conversation which will automatically be archived after a configured amount of time
you can use it for game channels support tickets and a multitude of other personalized and topical
conversations and it's a pretty neat feature so how do you activate discord threads you
don't need to threes will automatically be enabled on all servers coming august 17 2021
so if it's automatically enabled your next question should really be how do you secure
discord threads by default your everyone role has two new permission settings you'd like to disable
you can review these settings under server settings go to roles and then clicking on the
default permissions panel at the top this opens up your permission selector for the everyone role
scroll down to the text channel permission section and disable public threads and private threads
note that this doesn't actually disable discord threads as a whole it nearly stops all members
from being able to create new threads on their own everyone can still participate in created threads
next you want to make sure that relevant roles you choose are able to create new threads in my case i
don't want drifters to be able to create threads as they are all the new people in my server but
for the dwellers and up those members who've been in my server for a while well i want to give them
extra access and let them be able to create their own threads so select those roles and make sure
you enable the public threads permission so that you can create new discord threads as a final step
you might want to select specialist supporting roles such as the discord nitro boosters or
patreon supporters and make sure that the private threads are enabled for these special roles that
way you give those supporters a bit of extra value in your server private threads do require level
2 nitro boosted server though so keep that in mind note that at the time of this recording not
all the bots support managing discord threads yet discord bot developers need to alter their code a
bit to support the new feature i know dynobot can still execute auto mod on threads but only after
you join dynobot to the thread channel you can add a bot on the discord thread by at mentioning
the bot so get your moderators to call out your moderation bots in every thread they see great
your discord 3s are now activated and secured so how do you create and participate in threads
there are two ways to easily create discord threads one hover over any message and click
on the create thread icon on the right once you click on create thread enter the thread name
and choose how long the discord should wait before archiving that particular thread due to inactivity
the default is 24 hours but you can set this to one hour or even three days or even a week if
you have the discord nitro perks click create and your new disk or thread will be created so that
people can participate in it and two click on the threads icon at the top of the channel to create
a thread which is not connected to any particular message and if you liked how easy that was please
share the love by clicking that like button and subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet
now active threads will be shown in the server channel listing under the actual channel where
the thread was created it will also be shown under the actual message it originated from
if any and any active selected threads will be displayed on the right so that you can switch
between threads while maintaining an eye on the main channel messages too now i did find this
pop up right window doesn't always work with resurrected threads but if you know how
to make that always work please comment below and let me know how that'll be great thank you
so how do you resurrect discord threads once they have been archived to see archive discord threads
you need to go to the relevant channel and click on the threads icon in the top bar of the channel
the threads window allows you to see both active and archived threads click on archived threads you
can also choose between public threads and private threads for each of those categories select the
thread you want to resurrect and simply type a message that thread will now be reactivated and
again be listed on the left under the channel for others to participate in easily discord threats
are a pretty nifty feature some servers will use it more than others but at some point i'm sure
that all servers will be using it to some extent at launch there's clearly some enhancements that
can and should be coming to it especially around the moderation of it all in all i'm excited for
this feature and looking forward to see how it'll be focusing activity in other discord servers
let me know in the comments below how you'll be using your discord threads feature and if you have
