Discord server templates for friends

The saving is the setup, not the size. Building even a small layout by hand is an evening of naming channels and fixing the permissions afterwards, where loading one is a command. These are already short, so there is usually little to delete.

Scale, and the assumptions that come with it. A community layout expects strangers, so it spends its first category on rules, introductions and a member role. These expect a group that already exists, so they start at the talking.

Yes, all of them, on the free plan. Templates are contributed by the community and there is no paid tier for loading them.

It replaces the channels and roles with the ones in the template. Run /backup create first and you can undo it.

No. A template only carries structure. Nothing personal from the original server is published with it.

Create a template in your server’s own settings, under Server Template, then paste the link into the submit form here. You choose the name and description in Discord, and the category on the form.

A backup is private to your account and can include messages and member data. A template is public, structure only, and anyone can load it.

Because every submission is checked before it appears. A listing has to name and describe the server it actually offers, and anything with no place in a public gallery is refused, so a template called "test" with an empty description never reaches the listing. Galleries that publish whatever gets submitted are longer than this one, and most of what makes them longer is not worth loading.
