Update on discord access (Patreon)
Content
Discord access is a little tricky and not entirely intuitive and we know that some people have had trouble joining. Here are some updated instructions which have worked successfully for several Patreon subscribers. If you tried unsuccessfully before, give this method a try and come join your fellow glamour girls!
Here are the steps:
1. On the Patreon Straightiolab page, click on the 'Membership' tab
2. Scroll down to Quick Links and 2 options are there: (1) Listen to other podcast apps and (2) Discord Community
3. On the “Discord Community” section, the only option is a “join server” button
4. Click on “join server” and a new tab should open with Discord. This does not seem to work first time but if you click ‘join server’ 2 or 3 times, it should work. You may need to log into discord on a browser tab for this to happen.
If you need to link to discord on mobile, a similar approach should work, so joining the server from the membership tab and clicking multiple times until you get into discord.
Make sure you have already done the following or the above instructions won't work:
Sign up for Discord here.
You have to choose a reward tier. If you currently support the show but have chosen not to get any rewards, you'll need to change that. Discord access is connected and controlled automatically through Patreon based on reward tiers.
You need to connect your Discord account to your Patreon account in your Patreon settings. Check out the Patreon support doc here.
