Server setup

This guide walks you through inviting Lynxly, connecting your server in the Dashboard, and doing basic first-time configuration.

Prerequisites

Open lynxly.xyz and use the invite or “Add to Discord” button.
Select the server from the dropdown (you must have Manage Server there).
Review the requested permissions. Approve them so the bot can function correctly.
Complete the Discord authorization (captcha if shown).

Lynxly will join your server and appear in the member list.

Go to the Lynxly Dashboard.
Sign in with Discord when prompted.
Authorize the Lynxly application so the dashboard can read your servers and manage the bot.

In the Dashboard, find the server you added Lynxly to.
Click Connect, Setup, or the server name (wording may vary).
If the server is not listed, ensure you invited the bot to that server and that you have Manage Server there.
Complete any one-time setup (e.g. selecting a default channel or confirming settings).

Your server is now connected and you can change configuration and use features.

Recommended first steps:

Command prefix — Set the prefix used for text commands (e.g. !, ?, or lynx ). See Configuration.
Log channel — Choose a channel for moderation and event logs. See Features → Logging.
Moderation — Enable auto-mod or moderation commands and set roles. See Features → Moderation.

Issue	What to try
Bot doesn’t respond	Check permissions and that the bot has access to the channel. Ensure you’re using the correct command prefix.
Server not in Dashboard	Re-invite the bot with the correct permissions. Refresh the Dashboard and sign in again with Discord.
Missing features	Enable the right modules in Configuration and assign the bot the permissions from Permissions.
