Discord forum post mover

Move Discord forum posts into the forum where they belong

There is no native way to move a Discord forum post. Open the post, right-click the first message, then Apps, then Move. Pick the destination forum and choose All below. Pippin creates a new post there with every reply, keeps authors, avatars, media, and reactions, and applies a required tag if that forum needs one.

Can you move forum posts in Discord natively?

No. Discord has no move action for a forum post. Copying the text drops the author, the attachments, and the reactions. Pippin is the move: one context-menu command, Apps → Move, on the first message of the post.

Forum post to another forum

Pick the destination forum and choose All below. Pippin creates a new post. The disclaimer is the starter: original author, timestamp, and a jump link to the source. Every reply follows, still showing its author.

Forum post to a thread or channel

The destination does not have to be a forum. A text channel receives the messages flat, or you can wrap them in a new public or private thread. An existing thread or forum post can receive them too.

How to move a Discord forum post

  1. 1

    Open the post and right-click the first message

    Choose Apps → Move. Starting on the first message is what lets All below capture the starter and every reply.

  2. 2

    Pick the destination forum

    Search for it, or paste a Discord link. The same picker accepts a thread or a channel if the post should leave the forum.

  3. 3

    Choose All below

    Pippin previews the last message in the range so you can see that the whole post is included, up to 200 messages in one run.

  4. 4

    Confirm, then decide on the original

    Review move shows the cost. After the move, Pippin asks whether to keep the original. If you do not answer, it keeps it. If the whole post moved and you choose delete, Pippin can remove that post.

How Pippin helps

What's preserved and who gets pinged

Authors, avatars, media, reactions

Each reply keeps the original author's server nickname and avatar. Attachments, GIFs, and links stay. Embeds are copied. Emoji reactions are recreated.

Tags, titles, and the disclaimer

Source forum tags are not carried over. If the destination forum requires a tag, Pippin applies the first available tag so the post can be created. Change it afterwards if you need a different one. A new post starts with a disclaimer naming the original author, the timestamp, and a link back to the source.

Only @mentioned users are pinged

A move pings members who were @mentioned in the original message bodies. Otherwise no one is pinged.

Order stays

Replies stay in order. Discord does not let a bot recreate reply links, so those become ordinary messages in that order.

Good to know

  • Quota for a forum post

    The starter plus every reply counts. Creating the new post can add one extra move. The free plan includes 300 moves per month.

  • One run stops at 200 messages

    A longer post takes a second run, starting where the first one stopped.

  • Thread mover

    Moving a thread, rather than a forum post, is covered at /discord-thread-mover.

  • Docs

Frequently asked questions

Can you move forum posts in Discord?

Not natively. Discord has no move option for a forum post. Pippin adds one: open the post, right-click its first message, choose Apps → Move, pick the destination forum, and choose All below. Pippin creates a new post there and moves the starter and every reply.

How do I move a forum post to another forum?

Open the post, right-click the first message, choose Apps → Move, pick the other forum, and choose All below. Tags from the source forum are not copied. If the new forum requires a tag, Pippin applies the first available one so the post can be created.

Is there a Discord forum bot that moves posts?

Pippin moves forum posts. It also moves messages and threads. It is not a general forum-management bot: the move is the job, and forum defaults or panels are not what it does.

Will members be pinged?

Only members who were @mentioned in the original message bodies get pinged. Otherwise no one is pinged.
