Slowmode Recommendations

Disabled Category

When languages are disabled:

• Channels move to "Disabled Immersion" category
• This category is created automatically
• When all languages are re-enabled, it's deleted

Linking Different Channels

To change which channel a language uses:

2. Note: This feature is primarily available during initial setup
3. To change later, you may need to reset and re-setup

Troubleshooting

Channel Not Found

If a channel shows as missing:

• Someone may have deleted it from Discord
• Re-enable the language to recreate it

Translations Not Appearing

3. Verify bot has permissions in the channel

Wrong Channel

If translations go to the wrong channel:
