How to Use Ditto Web Dashboard: Complete Guide to Discord Server Cloning

Ditto Web Dashboard makes Discord server cloning simple and efficient. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of using Ditto Web Dashboard to successfully clone your Discord servers, from initial setup to completion.

What You'll Need Before Starting

Before you begin cloning your Discord server, make sure you have:

Owner permissions on both the source server (server you're cloning from) and target server (server you're cloning to)
Administrator permissions for Ditto Bot on both servers
A Top.gg account to vote for the bot (free and quick to set up)

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Ditto Web Dashboard

Step 1: Invite Ditto Bot to Both Servers

First, you need to invite Ditto Bot to both your source server and target server:

Visit the Ditto Bot website and click "Add to Discord"
Select your source server from the dropdown menu
Make sure to grant Administrator permissions to Ditto Bot
Click "Authorize" to add the bot to your server
Repeat this process for your target server

⚠️ Important: Administrator permissions are required for Ditto Bot to work properly. Without these permissions, the bot cannot clone channels, roles, or permissions correctly.

Step 2: Vote for Ditto Bot on Top.gg

To unlock the cloning features, you need to vote for Ditto Bot on Top.gg:

Visit top.gg and search for "Ditto Bot"
Click on the Ditto Bot page
Click the "Vote" button (you may need to log in with Discord)
Complete the voting process
Wait 10-15 seconds for the vote to be registered in our system

💡 Tip: Voting is free and helps support the development of Ditto Bot. You can vote once every 12 hours.

Step 3: Select Your Source Server on Dashboard

Instead of using commands, you'll use the web dashboard to manage the cloning process:

Go to the Ditto Dashboard and log in with your Discord account
You will see a list of servers where you have permissions
Select the server you want to clone FROM (Source Server) by clicking "Manage"

What Gets Cloned?

Ditto Bot can clone the following elements from your Discord server:

Text Channels: Discord text channel names, topics, slowmode settings, and NSFW flags
Voice Channels: Discord voice channel names, user limits, and bitrate settings

What Doesn't Get Cloned?

Due to Discord limitations, these items cannot be cloned:

Server Members: Users must join the new server manually
Server Boosts: Nitro boosts and boost perks
Bots: Other bots must be re-invited manually
Webhooks: Webhook configurations (for security reasons)
Invites: Server invitation links

Troubleshooting Common Issues

"You must be the server owner" Error

Ensure you own both the source and target servers
Administrator permissions are not enough - you must be the actual owner
Check server ownership in Server Settings → Overview

"Please vote for the bot" Error

Make sure you voted on Top.gg within the last 12 hours
Wait 10-15 seconds after voting before trying again
Try voting again if the error persists

"Missing Permissions" Error

Ensure Ditto Bot has Administrator permissions in both servers
Check that the bot's role is high enough in the role hierarchy
Re-invite the bot with proper permissions if needed

Tips for Successful Cloning

Use a fresh target server: Start with an empty server for best results
Clean up first: Remove unused channels/roles from source server before cloning
Test with small servers: Try cloning a small server first to get familiar with the process
Be patient: Large servers take longer to clone - don't interrupt the process
Have backups: Keep important information backed up separately

Conclusion

Using Ditto Web Dashboard to clone your Discord server is a visual and user-friendly way to manage your servers. Remember to ensure you have the proper permissions, vote on Top.gg, and be patient during the cloning process.
