Celestecord

Celestecord icon

The official Celeste Discord Server is named Mt. Celeste Climbing Association and often simply called Celestecord or clord. It is a Discord server and a central hub for discussing Celeste, its mods and collabs. It also doubles as a hub for Celeste speedruns, TASes, modding, and mostly anything else. The link to the server can be found here.

Celestecord is notable for having a unique subculture, and a unique way of reacting to a variety of things. Frogeline, an emoji featuring a frog with Madeline's hair, is perhaps its most notable element; however, many other in-jokes, emotes and terms have been coined there. Radeline is a more controversial component of the server, its appearance being glad Madeline with rad glasses placed on top.

Many of Celeste's developers are present on Celestecord. These include Maddy Thorson, Noel Berry, Kevin Regamey, Amora B., Pedro Medeiros, and Heidy Mottas. However, they show little to no activity there.

Structure

Celestecord consists of seven main channel categories, a "Welcome" category (containing rules, assignable roles, and a ticket tool for contacting staff), a category for voice channels, and an archive category for channels removed from use. Each main category is described below.

Meta

Channels in the Meta category are dedicated to discussing Celestecord itself, except #celeste_news_network, in which Olympus News and posts from Extremely OK Games on X (formerly Twitter) and Mastodon are reposted. A notable channel is #server_suggestions, where everyone can submit and vote for proposals to the server. They are then reviewed by moderators. About 80% of proposals are rejected, and moratoriums ban suggestions related to certain topics, such as role colors, emotes, bots, and the #memeline channel.

Celeste

Celeste is arguably the main category of Celestecord, intended for discussing everything Celeste-related. Channels there include:

• #celeste, a general channel for anything related to the game, vanilla or modded.
• #celeste_offtopic, a channel mostly for offtopic discussions.
• #achievements, where people post their completions and challenges. It is also where you can ping the Hard Clears Team or the Modded Golden team to have your run on the Celeste Hardlist or the Custom Map Golden Strawberry List.
• #celeste_modded for discussing modded maps (not modding itself).
• #celeste_help for asking for suggestions helping with specific screens of vanilla or modded maps.
• #celestenet for discussing CelesteNet and Madhunt, plus coordinating playing certain maps together.
• #randomizer for discussing the Randomizer mod.

Modding

The Modding category is intended for talking about modifying the game (code modding), making custom maps and assets, and helping install mods or resolve crashes (modding_help forum). Here, people can present their mods (#modding_showcase), share news about their development, or invite others to take part in one's collab or playtest a map (#modding_wip).

Challenge Clears

Challenge Clears is a category for discussing various challenge clears, notably deathless runs. #deathless_strats contains routes and strategies optimized for deathless runs (with the least risk). #hard_clears_strats showcases strategies that possibly make a certain map or screen easier to complete. Unlike the Speedrunning category, people are not worried about the time here.

Speedrunning

The Speedrunning category is home to people wishing to improve their time beating Celeste, its vanilla or modded maps. Various speedrun strats are discussed in #strats, #mod_strats, and #speedrun_help. People can show off their personal best times in #pb_posting, and discuss runs in #speedrun_general. This category also allows coordinating casual races through Celeste (#racing) and knowing about major events and marathons.

TASing

TASing is a category for discussing tool-assisted Celeste speedruns, both vanilla and modded. The category is mostly dedicated to the main game but has two channels for Strawberry Jam Collab and #tas_projects for posting links to other Discord servers about TASing other modded maps. A popular thread, RTA in #tas_general, discusses techs that are RTA-viable.

General

General is a category where people can talk about non-Celeste-related things such as pets, music, and art. It houses #general, the most active text channel, and #memeline, a popular and controversial channel for posting memes.
