Adding a server

Gathering Information

First gather some basic information about the server you wish to add:

Server Name & Summary

You can add a server without this if needed. If the server has a description set under server profile in its settings that description will be used, otherwise the server name will be used as a temporary placeholder.

Server Type & Subtype

  • Server type
    • Region for region-specific jetlag servers (Jet Lag UK, Jet Lag: Aussie Unit etc)
    • Topic for spinoff servers with a specific theme (Jet Lag Song Contest, Jet Lag SMP, simulation servers etc)
  • Server subtype
    • The specific region or topic of the server
    • e.g.
      • Jet Lag UK > UK
      • Jet Lag: Aussie Unit > Australia
      • Jet Lag SMP > Minecraft
      • Realspace's Sim Games > Simulations

Invite Code

This is not the whole invite link - just the end part of it e.g.

  • https://discord.gg/jetlag > jetlag
  • https://discord.gg/abcxyz123 > abcxyz123
  • https://discord.com/invite/example > example

Note

Make sure you use just the invite code, not the whole link!

Creating a listing

Use the /add-related-server command.

Parameters

Parameter Example Description
Forum #related-server-index Where to post the listing. Pretty much always #related-server-index.
Invite Code jetlag Server invite code (not link! see above)
Listing Type Region/Topic The server type (see above)
Listing Region Or Topic Australia The listing suptype (see above)
Force Yes/No Setting to Yes will bypass any minimum requirements checks (minimum member count, invite must be permenant). Default is No and you shouldn't really ever need to change it.

Examples

Example 1: Jet Lag: The Discord

/add-related-server invite-code:jetlag forum:#related-server-index listing-type:Topic listing-region-or-topic:Jetlag

Example 2: Jet Lag: Aussie Unit

/add-related-server invite-code:XrsjrDPRPt forum:#related-server-index listing-type:Region listing-region-or-topic:Australia

Update listing description

If successful, the bot will respond with a link to the new forum post. If you have a specific server summary to use instead of the automatically populated one, follow these steps to edit it.

  1. Navigate to the forum post and press the "Manage Listing" button to access the mod view.
  2. You will be shown some information about the listing and the attached server. Press "Edit" to open the edit popup.
  3. Paste in your new custom description before submitting.

You should see some messages from the bot describing your changes, followed by "Post updated". Once you see this message, the main post should be updated and you can safely dismiss all ephemeral messages.

General Changes

Most listing issues can be resolved via the Edit menu. See Update listing description for details on how to access this menu.

You can also use this menu to update the server name and description etc if needed

Please do not delete and recreate listings to resolve problems. If you make a mistake you can't fix, ask for help or ping @marens

The bot should warn you if you try to create a listing with a temporary invite link, however sometimes links become invalid anyway (e.g. they have been deleted or the person creating the listing skipped that check with force:Yes)

To update the invite, get a new invite code (don't use the full link!) and use the edit menu described at Update listing description to replace the old code.

After editing the listing, you may need to press the "Refresh Data" button on the manage listing page to update the "Join Server" button on the listing post.

Updating a server icon

If a server changes its icon, the old one can sometimes become invalid and show up as a broken image on the server's listing.

To fix this, follow step 1 of Update listing description to access the "Manage Listing" menu. Then press the "Refresh Data" button, this will update server information including the server icon.
