Logging in

Signing Up

After logging in or signing up, you will be at your home page where you can navigate to your open direct messages (DMs) and chat with friends.

You can navigate to channels by clicking on the servers located on the far left sidebar. From there, you can see each of the server's channels and chat with other users in the server!

You can also start DMs with other users in that same server! Just click on on a user on the right sidebar while you're viewing a server.

You can also create your own server (and channels of course!) by clicking on the green + button below all the servers.

As a server owner, you can any of the following:

Edit a server by clicking on your server's name above the channels list and then clicking the server settings button

Delete your server (why would you want to though??)

Create a channel by clicking on the + button to the right of 'TEXT CHANNELS' located aboove all your channels

Edit a channel by clicking on the cogwheel to the right of your server's channel's name

Delete a channel (again... why would you want to?)
