Midjourney is an AI image generator that has taken the internet by storm with its ability to provide creative and realistic images solely based on text prompts.

It differs from other platforms because it works only on Discord, and you need to join the Midjourney Discord server to generate images with AI.

You can use the Midjourney Discord server to create pictures. But if you’ve tried the newbie channels, you know it can get a bit chaotic with all the other people using them.

An alternative way to use Midjourney is to invite the Midjourney bot to your server and enjoy generating AI images in a more personal environment. In this post, I’ll show you how to add the Midjourney bot to your Discord server.

Requirements you need to meet before adding Midjourney to your Discord

You need to meet several requirements before you can add the Midjourney to your Discord server.

First of all, the obvious condition is that you need to have an active Discord account.

Secondly, you need to have a personal Discord server or be on a server where you are the administrator. If not, then you need to create your own Discord server.

And lastly, you can only add the Midjourney bot to a server with fewer than 1000 members.

Now that you are familiar with the requirements let’s jump to how to invite the Midjourney bot to your server.
