You can use Discord chat commands to boost your chatting experience and make it more enjoyable, without the use of bots. It is quite easy and effortless to use these chat or slash commands.

Note: Every command begins with the (backslash) /, followed by the command name within square brackets. When you type the actual command, do not type square brackets.

1. /giphy [word or term] or /tenor [word or term]: This command provides animated gifs from Giphy’s website or Tenor’s website based on the term or word you type in the square brackets. You can select any gif as per your preference.

Discord Bot Commands List

If there are a lot of people on your server, you will not be able to talk or communicate effectively. Creating multiple channels by categorizing people into various channels, along with granting different levels of permissions can solve your problem. But it is time-consuming. Bot commands can provide this and more. If you have your own server, Discord offers a wide range of endorsed bots with in-built mod tools, which you can utilize. These tools will help you integrate with other apps, such as YouTube, Twitch, etc. Furthermore, you can add as many bots as you want on your Discord server.

Moreover, you can find unofficial bots that allow you to call people or add stats for players. However, we suggest you not use such bots, as these may not be free, stable, or updated.

Note: Discord bot joins your channel and sits passively until you call it using commands.
