Platform Differences
Differences between using Nevi on Discord and Fluxer: command syntax, feature availability, and how the website adapts.
Overview
Nevi runs on both Discord and Fluxer. The core feature set is shared across both platforms: moderation, economy, leveling, music, custom commands, and everything else works on both. However, there are some differences in how you interact with the bot due to platform capabilities.
Command syntax
The biggest day-to-day difference is how you type commands.
Discord
Uses slash commands with the / prefix. Discord provides autocomplete, parameter hints, and inline validation as you type.
/ban user:@User reason:Spam
/play query:Never Gonna Give You Up
/help command:economy
Fluxer
Uses prefix commands with the ! prefix. Arguments are passed as plain text after the command name, separated by spaces.
!ban @User Spam
!play Never Gonna Give You Up
!help economy
On Fluxer, commands also support aliases, shorter alternative names for commands (e.g., !b instead of !ban). Aliases are listed in each command's help output.
Feature parity
The vast majority of Nevi's features work identically on both platforms. A few things differ due to platform-specific capabilities:
| Feature | Discord | Fluxer |
|---|---|---|
| Slash command autocomplete | Yes | No |
| Buttons & select menus | Yes | Yes |
| Custom command slash registration | Yes | Prefix only |
| Command aliases | No | Yes |
| All other features | Yes | Yes |
Custom command slash registration is the most notable difference. On Discord, when you create a custom command, Nevi can register it as a native slash command so it shows up in Discord's command picker. On Fluxer, custom commands are always invoked with the prefix.
Platform toggle on the website
Throughout this website, you'll see a platform toggle that lets you switch between Discord and Fluxer views. This affects:
- Command syntax - examples show
/or!based on your selected platform. - Invite links - the "Add to Server" button points to the correct authorization page.
- Feature notes - platform-specific details are highlighted where relevant.
Your platform selection is saved locally, so you only need to set it once. If you use Nevi on both platforms, you can switch anytime to see the correct syntax for each.
