How to Set Up a Beautiful Welcome Channel on Discord
Build a designed #welcome channel with banners, your rules and useful links using Fibra. Pick a theme or your own image and publish it in one click.
A welcome channel is the first thing new members read: who you are, the rules and where to go next. Most servers use a wall of text. Fibra's Welcome Channel builds a channel that looks designed, with image banners between sections, and posts it for you.
What a welcome channel is made of
You build the channel from up to 12 blocks, in any order:
- Banners: wide images with a title like "Welcome", "Rules" or "Links" that separate the sections.
- Text blocks: your message, rules or links, with full Discord formatting and the
{server}variable.
Fibra starts you off with a ready-made layout: a welcome banner and greeting, a rules banner with five sensible rules, and a links section. Edit the words to fit your community and you're done.
Choosing a look
Every banner shares one theme, so the channel looks consistent. Pick a built-in theme or upload your own image:
| Group | Themes |
|---|---|
| Fibra | Fibra Mint, Vinyl |
| Gradients | Aurora, Sunset, Ocean |
| Scenes | Synthwave, Forest, Graphite |
Publishing
- 1Pick the channelChoose the channel to post in, or let Fibra create a fresh one. It's best to use a channel where only staff can send messages.
- 2Arrange your blocksAdd, remove and reorder banners and text until the preview looks right.
- 3PublishFibra posts each block as its own message. Publish again after changes and Fibra replaces the old messages, so the channel never gets messy.
Pair it with the rest of the journey
A welcome channel works best alongside welcome messages and captcha verification and a role panel so new members can pick their roles straight away.
