Are you looking to duplicate a Discord server? Whether you need to create a backup, replicate a successful community, or make a new server based on an existing one, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process. So, let's get started and explore how to duplicate a Discord server!
Step 1: Creating a New Discord Server
If you haven't already, start by creating a new server on Discord. To do this, follow these simple steps:
- Launch the Discord application or visit the Discord website.
- Click on the plus (+) sign located on the left-hand panel to create a new server.
- Choose a server name and select a region that suits your location.
- You can also add a server icon and invite friends, but we'll focus on duplicating an existing server's structure in this guide.
- Once done, click on the "Create" button to finalize the process. Congratulations! Your new Discord server is ready.
Step 2: Duplicating Channels and Categories
Now that you have your new server set up, it's time to duplicate the channels and categories from your original server. Follow these instructions:
- Open both the original and new Discord servers side by side.
- In the original server, go to 'Server Settings' by clicking on the server name at the top left corner.
- Select 'Overview' from the menu on the left and scroll down to 'Server Settings.'
- Click on 'Widget' and enable 'Enable Widget' if it's not already enabled.
- Copy the 'Server ID' displayed on this page. You'll need it for the next step.
- In your new server, follow the same steps to reach 'Server Settings' and select 'Overview.'
- Scroll down to 'Server Settings' and click on 'Widget.'
- Paste the 'Server ID' you copied from the original server's widget page into the 'Server ID' field.
- Save the changes. You will now see the original server's channels and categories duplicated in your new server!
Step 3: Replicating Roles and Permissions
To ensure the roles and permissions from your original server are carried over to the duplicated server, follow these steps:
- In your new server, go to 'Server Settings' and select 'Roles' from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the plus (+) sign to create a new role.
- Enter the exact role name from the original server.
- Customize the new role's color and permissions to match the original role.
- Repeat this process for each role in the original server.
- Once all roles are created, assign them to the respective members.
Step 4: Inviting Members to the Duplicated Server
Now that your new server closely resembles the original server, it's time to invite members. Here's how:
- In the new server, click on the 'Members' option from the top toolbar.
- Click on the plus (+) sign or 'Invite People' button.
- Choose the appropriate option to invite members, such as sharing an instant invite link.
- Send the invite to your desired members and wait for them to join.
- Make sure to let everyone know about the new, duplicated server and shut down the original server if necessary.
Congratulations! You have successfully duplicated a Discord server. Following this step-by-step guide, you were able to create a new server, duplicate channels and categories, replicate roles and permissions, and invite members to your newly duplicated server. Feel free to make any necessary adjustments to the duplicated server to meet your specific needs. Enjoy building your new community!
