Editing Discord server

The [[Inferris]] '''Discord server''' serves as the central hub for the community, providing a space for members to connect, share experiences, and engage in meaningful discussions. While the server is already open, it’s still in the early stages, with only a few members currently involved. Whether you’re here to collaborate on projects, seek support, or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, the server is designed to foster a positive and inclusive environment as it continues to grow.

== Getting started ==
To join the Inferris Discord server, simply click the invite link provided on the [https://inferris.com Inferris website] or other official channels. Ensure you have a verified Discord account before joining. Once inside, you’ll be prompted to read the server rules and guidelines, which you must agree to in order to access the full range of channels. Keep in mind that as the server is still in its early stages, the community is very small, making this a great time to get involved early.

=== Navigating the Server ===
The server is organized into various categories and channels, each serving a specific purpose. The main categories include:

* '''Welcome''': Important announcements, server rules, and introductions.
* '''Community''': General chat, off-topic discussions, and community events.
* '''Support''': Channels for technical support, mental health support, and general inquiries.
* '''Projects''': Specific channels for collaboration on Inferris projects, including Minecraft development and creative works.

As the server is still growing, you may find that some channels are quieter than others. However, this also means that your contributions and ideas can have a significant impact as the community develops.

== Community Overview ==

=== Roles ===
Upon joining, all members are assigned a basic role that grants access to the general channels. Additional roles may be assigned based on your participation in the community, involvement in projects, or contributions to the server
==== DM Status Roles ====
Members can choose a DM status role that reflects their preference for private messages:

* '''DMs Open''': Indicates that you're open to receiving direct messages from other members.
* '''Ask to DM''': Indicates that you prefer members to ask before sending a direct message.
* '''DMs Closed''': Indicates that you do not wish to receive direct messages.

==== Region-Based Roles ====
Region-based roles allow members to connect with others from the same geographic area. These roles help coordinate meetups, events, and discussions relevant to specific regions.

==== Pronoun Roles ====
Pronoun roles are available to help members identify themselves and respect each other's identities. These roles can be selected to display your preferred pronouns and promote a more inclusive environment.

==== Mentionable Roles ====
Members can opt-in to receive specific mentionable roles that allow them to stay updated on particular aspects of the community:

* '''Social Gatherings''': Receive notifications about casual hangouts and meetups.
* '''News''': Stay informed about important updates and announcements.
* '''Events''': Get notified about upcoming community events and activities.

==== Color Roles ====
For a bit of personalization, members can choose from a variety of color roles. These roles allow you to customize the color of your name in the server, and you can swap them at any time to suit your preference.

==== Future Roles ====
There are plans to introduce additional roles that recognize member activity and engagement:

* '''Level-Based Roles''': Roles earned through active participation and engagement in the server.
* '''Activity-Based Roles''': These roles may be awarded for consistent involvement in the community but can be lost if a member goes inactive.

== Community Events ==
The Inferris Discord server is committed to fostering a vibrant and active community. To this end, a variety of events and gatherings are organized to encourage participation and interaction among members.

=== Voice Chat Gatherings ===
Voice chat gatherings are a central part of the Inferris community experience. Planned events include:

* '''Movie Nights''': Watch and discuss films together in a cozy, shared environment.
* '''Game Activities''': Participate in fun games like [https://garticphone.com Gartic Phone] and [https://www.geoguessr.com GeoGuessr], often paired with voice chat for added interaction.

=== Member-Hosted Events ===
While the future moderation team will regularly organize events, members are also encouraged to host their own gatherings. Whether it’s a gaming session, a discussion group, or something entirely different, member-hosted events are a great way to engage with the community and share your interests.

=== Future Event Plans ===
As the server grows, we plan to introduce more regular and varied events. Keep an eye on the '''Events''' channel for updates and new opportunities to participate.
