Midjourney doesn’t install like a normal app. It works through Discord, the chat platform. You join the Midjourney server, type your request into a channel, and the bot sends your pictures back into that same chat. Other people are doing the same around you, so you see their words and their results too.So if you use Midjourney through Discord, it isn’t just a generator. It’s also a community space, busy and noisy, but full of ideas. But Midjourney also works directly through the online service of the Midjourney webpage, and you can still see what others have generated.Higher plans allow faster speed, more images, and private channels where your work doesn’t appear in the public feed. For casual use, the low plan is enough; for professionals, the higher tiers are necessary. Either way, it’s not free. Because it runs on Discord or via the Midjourney webpage, the range is wide.The processing happens on Midjourney’s servers. You only send the words and receive the images. So an old laptop or a simple phone can manage it. The one downside is the interface. It’s not a polished standalone program. It’s a chat window, busy with prompts and replies mixed together. Some find that messy, others find it energising. But technically, it works almost anywhere.
