How do you create an image in niji・journey? (Desktop)
Jul 15, 2024
Prompt: green-haired girl playing computer games
Welcome to niji! This guide walks you through some simple steps to get your first picture.
1) Create an account
2) Subscribe to a plan (Or use the free trial)
3) Go to a bot channel.
3) Generate an Image.
*These same steps also work for Midjourney!
1. Create and log into Discord
You'll need a Discord account to use both Midjourney and niji・journey: The text-to-image interface works by issuing commands to a robot (bot, for short).
If you want to try it without a Discord account, you can use our mobile app!
🟢 
🍎 
Follow these guides to create and verify your Discord account:
After verifying your discord account, join the niji・journey Discord server to create your first image.
2. Subscribe to a Niji/Midjourney plan
niji・journey and Midjourney share the same account system. Subscribing to one service gets you access to both, at no extra cost! You need a subscription to start generating images with Niji.
Visit nijijourney.com/account.
Sign in using your verified Discord account.
Choose a subscription plan that suits your needs.
Alternatively, you can go to the #member-support channel on Discord, and type /subscribe. This will open a link for you to visit nijijourney.com/account.
Go to Subscription Plans for information on pricing and features available with each tier. *If you are looking to try niji for FREE, you can download our mobile app for 20 free generations.
3. Join the Niji Server on Discord
In order to access the service, you’ll need to join our discord: click on this link to join.
On the left bar, you’ll see some useful channels, like #announcements, #member-support, #niji-mobile.
CHECK BEFORE YOU PROCEED: Have you joined the server and subscribed to a plan?
Now that you are in the server, the next step is to go find the bot, so you can issue it a command to get your image.
In order to issue a command to a bot, you must go to an #image-generation channel. You’ll find the #image-generation channel on the left-hand bar.
It will look like a chatroom where people are making pictures, like this:
You are looking at a stream of everyone who is currently issuing the command “/imagine” to the bot.
Please read the following instructions closely: the bot is very sensitive to spelling errors.
To issue a command to the bot, start by typing the words “/imagine” into the textbox.
Type '/imagine ' in the message field, and wait for the cursor to turn black and say “prompt.”
If it doesn’t do that, check that you are in the #image-generation channel.
You can also click on it to get “prompt” to show up, as demonstrated in the following video:
After “prompt” shows up, type a description of the image you want to create. For example, “green haired girl, with flowers, wearing knight armor”
Press enter to send your message. The Bot will interpret your text prompt and begin generating the images.
Before generating any images, the Niji Bot will prompt you to accept the Terms Of Service. Please click the green button to proceed
If all went well, it should look like this:
Why isn’t my picture showing up?
If that didn’t work, fret not! Here are some common things to check:
Your prompt showed up as plain text
Make sure that you are in #image-generation. If you try this in a different channel, it won’t work.
Be sure not to copy and paste the entire /imagine + prompt sequence! You need to type “/imagine” first, and then wait for the words “prompt” section to show up on the textbox.
Your prompt returned an error
Sometimes, the bot has a service outage. You can find outage information by checking the #mj-announce section of the server.
Be sure that you’re not making porn/gore/weird stuff: it’s against our ToS, so the bot will error out when you try to make it. (And also as a convenient reminder: you’re actually in a public space, even though it may not look like it ♪(´ε｀ ) )
Your prompt stopped halfway while running
Sometimes, the bot has a service outage. You can find outage information by checking the #mj-announce section of the server.
General help
You can use the #member-support channel of the discord server to ask any questions, and our helpful human server guides will assist you!
Congratulations on your first image! I hope you got something to your heart’s desire.
There are always 4 pictures generated for every /imagine command. You can choose to keep whichever you like.
