How to Quote in Discord

Quoting messages in Discord can feel like a mystery, but stick with me—I'll show you how it's done. Let's break this down.

Why Quote in Discord?

Ever been in a busy Discord chat? Yeah, me too. Quoting is perfect for keeping track of conversations and responding clearly.

Method 1: Single-Line Quotes

Quoting a single line is super easy.

• Type the 'greater-than' symbol (>).
• Hit space.
• Write your message.

Example:

> This is a quote.

This makes the text appear as a block quote.

Method 2: Multi-Line Quotes

Need to quote a longer message? No problem.

• Type three 'greater-than' symbols (>>>).
• Hit space.
• Write your multi-line message.

Example:

>>>
This is a longer quote.
It spans multiple lines.

Using Bots for Quoting

Bots can make quoting even easier.

• Find a quoting bot like 'CataBot' or 'QuoteBot'.
• Add it to your server.
• Use the bot's command to quote messages (usually something simple like !quote @username).

Quoting on Mobile

Sometimes you're on the go and need to quote.

• Tap the message you want to quote.
• Hold your finger down until a menu appears.
• Select 'Quote' or 'Quote message'.

Best Practices for Quoting

To avoid confusion, always:

• Use quotes sparingly in fast-paced chats.
• Include context if the original message is far back.
• Be respectful and quote accurately.

So there you have it. Quoting on Discord is a piece of cake once you get the hang of it. Happy chatting!
