Have you installed Hydra Bot Discord on your server to manage music but don’t remember the commands and what each one of them helps you to do and how to interact with the server? Here I have an extensive list of Hydrabot Discord commands depending on your role in the server.
Whether you are a regular member of the Discord server, a DJ, a Hydra premium subscription owner, or have administrative privileges to manage the server, these commands will come in handy to listen to music and server management.
Even though I have listed all the commands with the period symbol but you need to make sure whenever you are going to use any Hydra Bot Discord command or syntax then you have to prefix it with a period symbol. For example, if you want to see a “playlist” within a channel then you will be using the command “.playlist” or “.pl”.
