01Communities & channels
Create a community and fill it with channels: text, announcement, spoiler, voice, stage, and forum. Each channel type is tuned for a different kind of interaction.
- 1Click the + in the server rail and choose “Create a community”.
- 2Name it, pick an icon, and create your first channels.
- 3Set channel types and permissions to fit how your community works.
02Categories
Organize channels under categories that members can collapse. Categories also make permission management easier — set them once and let channels inherit.
03Roles & permissions
Roles carry color, an optional hoisted section in the member list, mention settings, and around 35 fine-grained permissions covering messaging, moderation, channel management, and more.
Roles are ordered by position — higher roles win in the hierarchy, which also governs who can moderate whom.
04Channel overrides
Fine-tune access on a single channel by overriding permissions for specific roles or members — allow or deny individual permissions without changing the base role.
05Reaction roles
Set up a message where reacting with a given emoji grants a role and removing the reaction takes it away — a simple, self-serve way to hand out interest or notification roles.
06Invites & vanity URLs
Create invite links with optional expiry and use limits, and see how many joins each one drove. Eligible communities can claim a memorable vanity URL.
08Welcome screen
Configure a welcome screen that points new arrivals to your most important channels and sets the tone the moment they join.
09Verification gate
Turn on a verification gate so new members must acknowledge your rules before they can post. It's off by default — enable it when you want an extra speed bump against spam.
10Awakening — supports the server's creator
Members Awaken your community to unlock perks for everyone in it, and every Awakening directly supports the server's creator. It is the core way a community earns on Kaisuki — the exact split is under Earning & Cosmetics.
Awakening is in early access. A small group of approved servers is running it for now — it opens to every server shortly.
11Scheduled events
Plan events tied to a stage or voice channel, or point to an external location. Members RSVP and get reminders as the start time approaches.
