Quick Start

Take Appear from a fresh invite to a working first feature.

Before you start

Invite Appear, then place its role above every role it needs to manage. Discord role hierarchy still applies even when a command is configured correctly.

Your first five minutes

  1. 1

    Confirm Appear is responding

    Run the latency command in a channel where Appear can read and send messages.

    Command
    ,ping
  2. 2

    Check the prefix

    The default is a comma. This command shows the server's current value without changing anything.

    Command
    ,prefix
  3. 3

    Review the moderation setup

    The setup command explains Appear's moderation model. It does not create everything automatically: mute uses Discord timeouts, imute and rmute create roles on first use, and jail is configured separately.

    Command
    ,setup
  4. 4

    Configure one feature

    Start with welcome messages, jail, tickets, VoiceMaster, or a protection module. Follow that feature's guide before enabling it.

    Command
    ,welcome config
  5. 5

    Know where to get help

    Use command help for exact syntax, browse the command catalog, or open the support server.

    Command
    ,help welcome add

Starter commands

configuration

,prefix

Shows the server's command prefix, or changes it. `prefix self <char>` sets a personal prefix that only applies to you and needs no permissions; changing the server-wide prefix requires Administrator.

,setup

Explains that the moderation tools need almost no setup: mute uses Discord timeouts, imute and rmute create their own roles on first use, and `jail enable` configures jail. Prints that summary and changes nothing.
