Midjourney Discord is one of my favorite AI image generators, and I’ve tried quite a few. It arguably delivers the best outcomes and would be my overall #1 suggestion for almost everybody if it weren’t so…weird to use. 

Midjourney, unlike Stable Diffusion and DALLE 2, cannot be installed on your own computer or used through a well-designed web app. It is only available through Discord.

Yes, Midjourney can only be accessed via a chat app.

However, its quality is well worth the risk. Here’s a quick rundown on how to use Midjourney, keep reading for more information:

1. Sign up for Midjourney discord

Discord is a messaging tool that is similar to Slack in some aspects, although it was primarily developed for gamers seeking to coordinate strategies while playing multiplayer online games, such as League of Legends and World of Warcraft. 

It’s extremely popular among gaming communities and other artistic and hobby circles. Midjourney uses Discord for a purpose, even if it looks a little complicated from the outside.

All of this being stated, before you can even use Midjourney, you must first create a Discord account. It’s completely free, so go to Discord’s website and create a new account if you don’t already have one.

2. Sign up for Midjourney

Once you’ve created an account on Discord, go to the Midjourney website and Join the Beta. This will prompt you to accept an invitation to the Midjourney Discord channel. Accept the invitation, and you’re in.

• To sign up for a Midjourney plan, go to one of the newcomer rooms (such as #newbies-14 or #newbies-44).
• In the message area, type /subscribe and click enter or return. It’s like a slash command, and it is how you communicate with Discord bots such as Midjourney. You’re just informing Midjourney Discord that you’d want to subscribe.
• This will take you to a page to sign up for a paid Midjourney plan.

The Basic Plan costs $10 per month, with 200 image creations each month, and the Pro Plan goes up to $60 per month, which includes 1,800 AI-generated images.

Return to Discord after you’ve signed up. It’s time to get started.

3. Generate your First Image by Midjourney Discord

Midjourney is intended for usage by a community of artists (thus the use of Discord), although the #newbies channels may be somewhat turbulent. 

There are several folks who are continuously submitting suggestions and requests. (Scrolling through the various channels is an excellent method to discover what works and what doesn’t.)

You can submit orders to the Midjourney Discord bot via direct messages if you’re a premium user. They will remain publicly available in the member’s gallery by default; if you want to make private images, you must subscribe to the most expensive Pro plan.

For the time being, let’s keep working on the #newbies channel. If you’ve paid for a plan and need a quieter workspace, click the Midjourney Bot and send it a direct message.

Enter /imagine in the message box, followed by a text prompt and a return key. You may put in whatever you like, but here are a few suggestions to get you started:

• Impressionist painting of a Canadian guy riding a moose in a maple grove.
• Vermeer’s painting of an Irish wolfhound drinking a pint in a typical Irish pub.
• A mermaid swims in a green kelp forest surrounded by fish in this hyper-realistic rendering.
• After about a minute, based on your prompt, you will have four variants of your prompt.

4. Edit Images With Upscaling And Variations

There are eight buttons beneath each set of images you generate: U1, U2, U3, U4, V1, V2, V3, and V4.

• The U buttons enlarge the selected image, resulting in a new bigger rendition with additional information. 
• The V buttons generate four additional versions of the selected image that are stylistically and aesthetically similar to it.
• A Re-roll option is also available, which will re-run your prompt and create four new images.

All of these buttons allow you to fine-tune and better control the images produced by Midjourney AI Discord.

Conclusion

Of course, the actual power comes from Midjourney Discord’s advice. Learning how to write successful prompts is currently the true key to getting decent results from all generative AI technologies.

Midjourney is one of the most straightforward AI image generators. Its default style is noticeably more creative than DALLE 2, so even simple instructions like “a cow” can provide nice results.

Midjourney AI Discord is still in beta and being actively developed. The sixth edition is currently being tested, and the results are astounding. Hopefully, developers will add capabilities that allow Midjourney to integrate better as part of a workflow over the following several months.
