general

what is cascade?

cascade is a multi-purpose discord bot designed to enhance your server experience with moderation tools, utility commands, last.fm integration, fun features, and social interactions.

our goal is to provide a comprehensive bot solution that covers most server needs without requiring multiple bots.

how do i invite cascade to my server?

you can invite cascade using the invite link:

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1297647726778908682&permissions=1739418805207031&integration_type=0&scope=bot

you need "manage server" permissions in the discord server you want to add cascade to.

what permissions does cascade need?

cascade requires specific permissions to function properly:

  • read messages & view channels: to see commands and messages
  • send messages & embed links: to respond to commands
  • manage messages & kick/ban members: for moderation features
  • connect & speak: for voice channel features (if applicable)

the invite link includes recommended permissions. you can adjust them after inviting.

commands

how do i use cascade's commands?

cascade uses discord's prefix command system. simply type ;h in any channel where cascade has permissions, and you'll see a list of available commands.

note: If the bot is offline, check out the status: https://cascade.gay/status

how can i see all available commands?

you can view all commands in several ways:

  • type ;help in discord and browse the command list
  • use the ;help command
  • visit the commands page on our website

commands are organized into categories for easy navigation.

can i disable specific commands?

no! - we might add a settings feature later.

in the meantime, to disable commands, make the bot have less perms.

troubleshooting

cascade isn't responding to commands

if cascade isn't responding, try these steps:

  1. check if cascade is online (green status dot)
  2. ensure cascade has proper permissions in the channel
  3. verify the bot's ping by typing ;bi
  4. try using the command in a different channel
  5. wait for our bot to come online (if offline)

last.fm integration isn't working

if last.fm commands aren't working:

  • make sure you've linked your last.fm account with ;fm_set [username]
  • verify your last.fm username is correct
  • check that you've scrobbled recently on last.fm
  • ensure last.fm's api is operational (check their status page)

last.fm integration requires a valid last.fm account with recent scrobbles.

moderation commands aren't working

moderation commands require specific conditions:

  • you need "manage server" or specific moderation permissions
  • cascade's role must be higher than the target user's role
  • check that cascade has the necessary permissions in server settings
  • ensure the command is enabled in your server

tip: drag cascade's role above other roles in server settings to ensure it can moderate all members.

features

can i set a custom prefix?

cascade exclusively uses (;) and does not support custom prefixes.

this ensures:

  • better command usage
  • consistent user experience across servers
  • no conflicts with other bots
  • can't be abused or ratelimited

what image editing features are available?

cascade includes a couple image editing features. - it is a new feature and could be removed.

  • filters: apply effects like blur, invert, grayscale
  • manipulation: resize, crop, rotate images
  • fun effects: deepfry, magik, pixelate
  • text overlay: add captions and text to images

most commands work with image attachments, user avatars, or image urls.

if you're wondering what current editing command we have, type ;h and look for "editing" or "images" or something like that.

how can i delete my data from cascade?

you have several options for data management:

  • remove cascade from your server (deletes all server data)
  • contact support for manual data removal
  • unlink specific services like last.fm with their respective commands
