When a message gets enough ⭐ reactions, Discortics copies it to your starboard channel with its author and a link to the original.
Before you begin
- You need Manage Server.
- Create a
#starboardchannel. - Discortics needs View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Read Message History there.
Set up Starboard
Set up from the Dashboard
- Open Dashboard → Settings → Starboard.
- Select
#starboard. - Set the threshold. Start with
3for a small server. - Add private or noisy channels to Ignored Channels.
- Enable Starboard and save.
- Add ⭐ reactions to a test message.

Settings
| Setting | What it does | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Turns Starboard on or off and keeps your settings | |
| Channel | Where highlights are posted. Applies to future posts | One channel |
| Threshold | Stars needed. The default is 3 | 2 to 999 |
| Ignored Channels | Messages here are never highlighted | 25 channels |
Limits are the same on every plan. To exclude a category, add each of its channels. To remove one ignored channel, use the Dashboard, since Discord can only clear the whole list.
What gets posted
Text, images, other attachments, and the first embed on a message.
Limitations
- Only the standard ⭐ emoji counts. Custom emoji and bot reactions don't.
- A message is posted once, when it first reaches the threshold.
- Later stars, or removing stars, don't update or remove the post.
- Very old messages may not be highlighted.
Reset
Select Reset in /settings starboard and confirm. This turns it off, sets the threshold to 3, and clears the channel and ignored list.
Commands
| Command | What it does | Permission |
|---|---|---|
/settings starboard | Open the Starboard panel | Manage Server |
Troubleshooting
A message didn't appear. Check that Starboard is on, a channel is selected, the source channel isn't ignored, members used the standard ⭐, and Discortics can post in the channel.
