Pin Archive

Off by default

When a channel reaches the pin limit you set (50 by default), Kovu moves its oldest pins to a pinboard channel with a link back, then unpins them, so new pins always fit.

  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
  2. Find Pin Archive in the module list (press / to filter it, or ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.
  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
  4. Try it in Discord: /pinarchive. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Tips

  • Use ?pinarchive now #channel to move a channel’s pins right away.
  • Every archived pin is listed on this page with links to the original and the pinboard post.
