How to set up a starboard on Discord

A starboard is a highlight reel. When a message gets enough of your chosen reaction, the bot reposts it to a board channel so the good stuff never gets buried.

Turn it on for your server

  1. Open the portal
    Go to mimbos.com and log in with Discord. Pick the server you want to set up. You need to be an admin or the owner.
  2. Find the Starboard card
    On the module dashboard, open Starboard and press Configure to start setup.
  3. Invite the bot and switch it on
    The setup flow invites the Starboard bot with one click and turns the module on for this server.
  4. Choose the star emoji
    Pick the reaction that counts toward the board. The classic star is the default, but any emoji works.
  5. Set the threshold
    Choose how many of that reaction a message needs before it is reposted. Three to five is a good starting point.
  6. Pick the board channel
    Choose the channel where starred messages are reposted. Make sure the bot can send messages and embeds there.
  7. Save
    That is it. The bot now watches reactions and reposts anything that crosses your threshold.

Tip. Match the threshold to your server size. A small server might use three stars, a busy one might use ten so only the real standouts make it.
