Engagement

Starboard

Repost popular community messages after they reach a reaction threshold.

Updated October 21, 20261 min read

Getting started

1

Create a starboard

Name it and choose the destination highlight channel.

2

Choose the reaction

Select the emoji members will use and the number of reactions required.

3

Set safety rules

Require account or server age, exclude channels, roles, bots, self-stars, and NSFW content, and prevent reaction farming.

4

Design highlights

Choose embed color, title, footer, content and attachment behavior, jump button, and source/author details.

5

Control lifecycle

Choose whether highlights update live, are removed below threshold, lock after posting, or support multiple boards by channel.

6

Review performance

Use top posts, top authors, reaction trends, recent activity, and manual removal tools.

7

Test

Use the preview and react to a test message from different qualifying accounts.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Destination

Channel receiving highlighted messages.

Emoji

Reaction that counts toward the threshold.

Threshold

Unique qualifying reactions required.

Minimum account age

Prevents very new accounts from contributing to manipulation.

How it works

Here’s what happens once you’ve finished setup.

  1. 1
    Community

    Reacts to an original message.

  2. 2
    NightCrew

    Counts qualifying reactions and checks restrictions.

  3. 3
    Threshold

    Creates or updates one starboard post containing author, content, media, source channel, and jump link.

Example

Troubleshooting

Message never posts

Grant Read Message History in the source and Send Messages/Embed Links in the destination.

Duplicate highlights

Keep one active starboard rule per emoji/source scope and do not delete tracking records.
