Navigate to a channel in the Discord app. Quick tip: if you want to favorite a GIF but don't want to send it in any public servers you're in, create a personal server with yourself as the only member. You can use this server to favorite GIFs, keep notes, or test things out.
- You can also do this in a DM with a friend, if you prefer.
- Some servers may have a spam or testing channel for these purposes. If you're on a server that has a channel like this, you could use that channel as well.
