Commands

For Discord users

/invite

Invite a Matrix user to this Discord server.

On Matrix, people can choose which channels they want to join. If you use the command a second time, you can additionally invite them to the specific channel.

/ping

Notify a Matrix user.

You can do this without the command just by typing @their username. It won't look like anything to you, but it works on the other side! You only need to use /ping if you really want to be sure.

Right click -> Matrix info

See details about who sent a message.

Right click -> Responses

See the specific users who reacted to a message or voted on a poll.

For Discord moderators

/privacy

Set how public or private the Matrix rooms are.

Right click -> Permissions

Give Matrix users additional permissions:

  • Default
  • Moderator - can delete messages, kick or ban
  • Admin - can moderate moderators and break the room

For Matrix users

/thread

Create a new bridged Discord thread. You must write a name for the thread after the command.

This is necessary since standard Matrix threads are not bridged as Discord threads, they appear as reply chains on Discord instead.

/invite

Create a Discord invite link. You can use this to invite people who only use Discord.

/time

Similar to Discord's @time feature. Set your time zone in your client, then write a human-readable time after the command, and it'll be converted to everyone else's local time.

For Matrix moderators

/emoji

For clients that don't support editing emojis natively, add a new emoji to the bridged Discord server.

Use this while replying to an image that you want to add as an emoji. You can set a custom name by writing :name: after the command.
