How to Get Help

  • Before asking: Try to find the solution yourself. (CTRL + F in this server can answer a lot of questions)
  • Skip "I need help", "Help please", "Can I ask a thing", "I have an error" - Yes you can! Getting help is what this server is for!
  • Not a discord.js question? Post in #1081585952654360687. (using code in a bot does not mean it is a question about using discord.js!)
  • Consider using #986520997006032896 for questions you think won't be quick to solve.
  • You can use #djs-help-v14 for questions you expect can be quickly solved.
  • For voice (sending/receiving sound), please use #998942774994927646.

How to Ask a (Good) Question

  • Show your code.
  • Show your errors.
  • Explain what happens and what you want to happen instead.
  • Text is usually better than screenshots. Use code blocks starting with ```js or ```ts.

Help Us to Help You

  • Run your code before asking if it can work. (errors are often very useful in pin-pointing the issue! )
  • Imagine you are the one trying to help. Ask the question in a way that you would want to read!
  • Post your full error and relevant code. (catch promise rejections, provide the context you are working in)
  • If you use custom functions in your snippet, show them to us! (we only know how the library works, not what the rest of your code looks like)
  • Actively participate in the "solution-finding" process. (don't expect people to fix the code for you)
  • Explain what you tried to do to fix the problem.
  • Read the responses you are given.
  • Research key words you do not understand before asking what they mean. (come back and ask, if you cannot find them)

No Answer?

  • Do not mention uninvolved people to get a response.
  • Consider posting in #986520997006032896.
  • Try to rephrase your question.
  • Try to give more context / improve your description.
  • Try to find a solution yourself while waiting.
