Chirper Internet covers the core social media features of Chirper. Share news, updates, events, and announcements, then reply, like, and repost to keep the conversation going. Posts sync live between Discord, Chirper Web, and Chirper Desktop.

​
Before you start

You need a Chirper account to post and interact. If you already have one, skip ahead to Making a post. Run /account register in your server’s bot commands channel and fill in your details. See Account management for more on accounts.

​
Making a post

1

Run /post

Run /post in your bot commands channel and choose a post type: Internet Post, Dark Web, or Poll.
2

Fill in your post

The New Post form opens. Share text, an image, or both.
3

Submit

Click Submit. Your post is published to the Chirper Posts channel.

​
After posting

In Discord, Chirper sends you a private confirmation that only you can see:
@you, I’ve posted as @handle — your post is live!
Click View post to jump straight to it, or click Dismiss message and find it in your server’s Chirper Posts channel.
Mention another account with its @handle. Chirper sends them a DM letting them know.
You can post again from the same account after 10 seconds.

​
Polls

Ask a question and let everyone vote.
1

Run /post

Run /post and choose Poll.
2

Fill in your poll

3

Submit

Click Submit to publish your poll.
Put each option on its own line. Press Enter to start the next one. For example, for “Should we host a community event?”:

​
Voting

Polls show live results as a percentage for each option, along with the total votes and when the poll ends.
Choose an option from the Vote in this poll menu under the poll.

​
Interacting with posts

Every post has buttons along the bottom. The number on each button shows its current count.
If you have more than one account, Chirper asks which account to use in a private message only you can see. Click Dismiss message to clear it when you’re done. With one account, Chirper uses it automatically.

​
Replying

Click the speech bubble button on any post, including your own and Dark Web posts. Pick the Account to reply with, write your reply in Content, and optionally add an Image, then submit. On Chirper Web, open a post and use the Chirp your reply box at the bottom.

​
Liking

Click the heart button to like a post. Click it again to remove your like.

​
Reposting

Click the two looping arrows to share a post from your account. Chirper adds a message to the post’s thread saying you reposted it. Reposts help posts get seen:
  • Depending on your server’s settings, a post that gets enough reposts moves back to the top of the Latest Feed.
  • A post that reaches your server’s repost threshold is also sent to the Trending Feed.

​
Bookmarking

Click the bookmark button to save a post to your account’s bookmarks. To see your saved posts, run /bookmarks. If you have bookmarks on more than one account, pick which account’s bookmarks to view. Use the arrow buttons to move through them.

​
More options

Click ... on a post to open a private menu, then pick an action from What would you like to do?. The actions you see depend on whose post it is.

​
Following

Follow an account to get a DM whenever it posts.
1

Open more options

Click ... on one of the account’s posts.
2

Click Follow

Choose Follow, then pick which of your accounts to follow with. Chirper always asks, even if you only have one account.
The account you follow gets a notification that you followed them. To unfollow, repeat the same steps and choose Unfollow. They aren’t notified when you unfollow.

​
Anonymous posting

Post or reply without showing which account you are. Choose @anonymous from the Account menu when you post or reply. Anonymous posting works for both Internet and Dark Web posts.
  • You need at least one Chirper account to post anonymously.
  • Your server admins can turn anonymous posting off.
Server staff can still see who made an anonymous post or reply, so they can moderate it if needed.

​
Feeds

Your server can share previews of new posts outside the Chirper Posts channel. You can like, repost, and reply right from a feed preview.

Latest Feed

Previews of every new Chirper post. Click See More to open the full post.

Trending Feed

Popular posts that reach your server’s like or repost threshold.
Server admins set up feeds and trending thresholds in the Feeds section of the dashboard, where the Latest Feed is called Normal Feed.

​
Searching

On Chirper Web, click Explore in the sidebar, or use the Search Chirper bar at the top of the right-hand sidebar. You can start a search with @ or #. Search only covers your current server, and remembers your last 5 searches.

​
Community notes

Community notes add helpful context to a post. They appear below the post under “Users contributed context they felt would be useful to know.”
Staff can add a note to any post. Other members can add notes if one of their accounts has a Verified, Government, or Business badge.
Notes can be added to posts, but not to replies, marketplace listings, or your own posts.

​
Notifications

Chirper keeps you in the loop with DMs. Choose which DMs you receive with /notifications manage.

​
Reporting

If a post needs moderator attention, report it.
1

Open more options

Click ... on the post.
2

Click Report

Choose Report, enter your reason, and submit.
Your report is sent to your server’s moderators to review. You can send another report after 2 minutes.

​
Dark Web

Dark Web posts are built for underground and criminal roleplay. To make one, run /post and choose Dark Web. You can reply to and like Dark Web posts, but you can’t repost them or bookmark them in Discord. See Dark Web for everything else.
