Midjourney User Guide: Joining the Server, Generating Images in a Private Channel, and Switching Accounts

This Midjourney user guide clearly walks through the steps that most beginners get stuck on: how to join the official server, how to organize your image-generation workflow into your own private channel, and how to switch safely when you need multiple accounts. Follow along and you’ll be able to send prompts reliably, reduce spam interference, and be less likely to run into issues like “no permission / the bot ignores me.”

Join the Midjourney server and complete login authorization

Before using Midjourney, first prepare a Discord account and complete email verification and basic profile setup. Then, on the Midjourney website, choose to log in with Discord. Your browser will redirect to Discord’s authorization page; after you confirm, your Discord account will be linked to the Midjourney access entry point.

If this is your first time entering the official server, first observe the command format and channel rules in the beginner channels. Some features and image-generation permissions depend on your account status. If you can’t see channels or buttons are grayed out, first confirm whether you’ve completed the newbie onboarding and server rules confirmation as prompted.

Create a private image-generation environment: a personal server and dedicated channel

If you don’t want to be drowned in the public channels’ feed, the most practical approach is to create your own Discord server, then create a “midjourney-image-gen” channel for yourself. After creating it, add the Midjourney Bot to your server, and in the channel where you want to generate images, authorize it to read and write messages and use slash commands.

After adding it, first type “/info” in the channel to check whether the status is normal, then use “/imagine” to send your first prompt. This way, when you generate images in Midjourney, the results will be集中 in your private channel, making them easier to search and manage.

Common commands and settings: make Midjourney easier to use

The most commonly used Midjourney command is “/imagine.” After entering a prompt, wait for generation, then use the U/V buttons to upscale or create variations. If you want to lock in preferences like style and speed, you can use “/settings” to view and adjust common options, avoiding having to repeat the same setup every time.

When you feel the bot is “not responding,” first check whether you’re sending the command in a channel where it has permission, and whether that channel allows application commands. In most cases it’s not a Midjourney outage, but rather channel permissions, command location, or server settings causing the command not to be received correctly.

Account switching and binding principles: avoid subscription and permission mix-ups

Midjourney usage and permissions are usually tied to your Discord account, so the key to switching accounts is switching your Discord login identity. The most reliable method is to use different browser profiles (or incognito windows) to log in to different Discord accounts separately, then enter the Midjourney website for authorization and use, avoiding cookies overwriting each other.

If you must switch repeatedly on the same device, it’s recommended to fully log out of the current account in Discord first, then log in to the other account; at the same time, check which account’s Midjourney Bot permissions are added in your server. To reduce risk, enable two-factor authentication for Discord and avoid casually granting server admin permissions to others, making your Midjourney image-generation environment safer and more stable.
