This guide explains how to use Midjourney in Discord: from joining the official server and finding available channels, to generating images with /imagine, upscaling, and saving the original image. Follow the steps once and you’ll get Midjourney running end-to-end, then organize your generations in your own channel.
Before you start: a Discord account and an active Midjourney status
Before using Midjourney, you’ll need a Discord account and to complete email verification. If you often sign in on new devices, it’s recommended to enable two-factor authentication to avoid triggering security checks. Midjourney must be in an available state (with an active subscription or proper account permissions) to generate images in channels; otherwise, commands may do nothing or return a “missing permissions” style message.
After opening the Midjourney website, the entry is usually “Join” or “Open in Discord.” Click it and you’ll be redirected to a Discord invite page. Accept the invite, and you’ll see the Midjourney server icon in the server list on the left.
After joining: find channels where you can generate images (and read the rules)
Once you enter the Midjourney server, start with beginner channels (often named something like newbies / newcomers). These channels typically allow Midjourney commands by default. Spend half a minute checking the pinned posts or channel rules to avoid being restricted for spammy behavior or sensitive terms.
If the channel moves too fast, consider favoriting your most-used channels, or switch to using the Midjourney Bot in your own server for a quieter experience.
Core command: generate with /imagine, then upscale and create variations
In an eligible channel, type “/imagine,” select the command from the pop-up, enter your description in the prompt field, and send. Midjourney will return a 4-image grid. For more consistent results, try writing prompts in an order like “subject + scene + lighting + style + camera/composition,” and avoid stacking overly long sentences.
