<html> <h2><center>Discord Harmony</center></h2><br/> <div class="pull-left"><br/>https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ9cuHngbi6rXgL6iwa3KtRYP6UgmWogg9d5rGrMKayFg/Discord%20Harmony.png<br/><br/></div> <p>Steemians are doing their best to take over the Discord service. Discord is a communication app that was originally designed with the gaming community in mind.<br/> <br/> Once a person understands the various Discord Apps, communicating is a great deal of fun. Also, the ability to collaborate quickly, share links, photos, and files, and keep track of important pieces of information is extremely easy and fluid.<br/> <br/> Today, we'll find some Discord harmony with a simplified overview of the Discord App for Android. Ready? To go fast, I'm going to let you <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discord">download the app</a> and sign up for an account without my help. I am confident you can do it.</p> <p>There is a high probability you've encountered various Discord Server invites from various groups. They're <em>every where!</em> You will need an invite in order to join a server and see the rest of the app functionality. </p> <p>Some groups are closed <a href="https://steemit.com/@accelerator">(like <em><b>Minnow Accelerator Project</b></em>)</a> and require that you follow a path to membership approval. Some are open invite (the <em><b>@steemgigs</b></em> profile links to their <a href="https://discordapp.com/invite/wWrnSXK"><em><b>Discord Invite</b></em>).</a></p> <h3>Entering</h3> <div class="pull-right">https://steemitimages.com/DQmTCfxqrGh2cZNeE3NtbcirN96KPoGPNkJcqE4FgefUDve/menu%20button%20photo_2017-09-28_18-15-23%20crop.png<br/><center><sub>Menu Button in the Discord App for Android</sub></center><br/></div> <p>After your account is set up, each <em>Sever Invite Link</em> will take you immediately to the Group's <em>"General Channel."</em> Across the top of the Discord App, I hope you see this line (or a similar arrangement) of "symbols, icons, buttons." (Technically, they are symbols on icons behaving like buttons. People, including me, interchange the terms.)</p> <div class="pull-right">https://steemitimages.com/DQmcBt77hkPN6mokkU9nvuYu4mvmnGG3GtvXjnWAqn8zdtD/members%20photo_2017-09-28_18-15-23%20crop.png<br/><center><sub>Online Members</sub></center></div> <b><h4>Channel Symbols <sub>buttons</sub></b></h4> <p><em><b>Menu</b> (icon of 3 lines)</em> ~ Gateway to all areas of communication (and their settings).<br/><br/> <em><b>Members Online</b> (icon of 2 bodies)</em> ~ Shows list of all online members by category.<br/><br/> <em><b>Pinned Messages</b> (3 vertical dots icon)</em> ~ Displays a list of messages that generally tell you what you can expect and what is expected of you in that channel. Pinning a message (from chat) is like adding a bookmark so it can be easily seen by everyone in the channel. Pay close attention to these messages. They are considered "The Rules."<br/><br/> <em><b>Channel Settings</b></em> (also, 3 vertical dots icon) ~ Opens menu containing <em><b>Notification Settings </b></em>specific for the channel. These settings over-rule the <em>Server Settings</em> by creating exceptions. It is not necessary to set each and every channel (see "Severs" under "Communicating").</p> <h3>Communicating</h3> <p>The <em>Menu Button</em> (icon of 3 lines). Tapping the icon will cause the menu below (or one very similar) to appear from the left.</p> <div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmaAbH9FbMNyq5SFuHqS4grKFwd7Le3XfLgYyYfJun9iWP/3%20line%20menu%20photo_2017-09-28_17-12-17%20crop.png<br/><center><sub>Main Menu for Communication</sub></center></div> <p><em><b>Direct Messages (DM)</b> (people group, top left)</em> ~ Tap this button to open the menus for contacting individuals<br/><br/> <em><b>Servers</b> (icons (logos) of group servers, far left edge)</em> ~ Tap the <em>Server Icon</em> to move between the servers/ groups you have joined. On the absolute left edge, there is a small rectangle indicating the server you are currently visiting. The name of the group/server is displayed in the top header. <br/>- Long press on the <em>Server Icon</em> to show an options menu for each specific server. One option is <em><b>Notification Settings</b></em>. Each server's settings is set individually.<br/><br/> <em><b>Channels</b> (list, right column)</em> ~ Tap the Channel names to enter a different area (some people call these rooms).<br/>- Long press to show a menu with additional options for each channel. One option is to <em><b>mute the channel</b></em>. If it is muted, you can return to the <em>Server icon</em>, use a <em>long-press</em> to open the <em>Sever menu</em> and select <em>"Hide Muted Channels."</em></p> <h4><b>Bottom Edge:</b></h4> <p><em><b>Your User Name</b></em> ~ Tap to set Online Status<br/><br/> <em><b>The @ Symbol</b></em> ~ Opens list of all messages containing @everyone and @mentions (of your name)<br/><br/> <em><b>The Gear Symbol</b></em> ~ Opens the User Settings.</p> <div><h3>One Button To Rule Them All</h3><br/><em>Story Time</em></div> <p>Imagine riding in a nice vehicle (as opposed to being tossed around in an old pick-up truck) traversing the winding lanes of the Cumberland Parkway in the Kentucky Appalachian Mountains. You are also keeping up with stories unfolding on your favorite Discord Server <a href="https://steemit.com/@accelerator">(<em><b>Minnow Accelerator Project</b></em>)</a>. </p> <p>Fairly quickly you realize each peek at the conversation is causing you to have a headache and pushing you toward other symptoms of motion sickness. With each irresistible notification, the symptoms worsen.</p> <div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmUtuXvp1nWys6uuF78C8VeapL72yLpyjUrvVt9Dp4xez5/one%20button%20photo_2017-09-28_17-12-17%20crop.png<br/><center><sub>One small tap, instant control.</sub></center></div> <p>What to do?<br/><br/>Remember! The Gear Symbol opens User Settings!<br/><br/> From the User Settings, select Notifications.<br/><br/> One simple tap on the first slider, turns off "Enabled." All goes quiet.<br/><br/>This little action can also save your relationships, friendships, and employment. You might also sleep better.<br/><br/>Now, you should have reached some sort of Discord Harmony.<br/><br/> Please leave questions in the comments. I may or may not have answers.
