Understanding Reaction Roles
When you have a Discord server, the default way of assigning roles to server members is by using the admin privilege. When you have a large server, the work becomes exhausting as the admins must manually assign the roles to each required server member.
Although Discord lacks a feature allowing your server members to self-assign roles, you can use a Discord bot, such as Carl bot, to create this feature in your server. How you achieve that is by using a “reaction role.” When the server members click on your created role, they relinquish the role associated with it.
