What it does
When a message has enough stars, copy it to the starboard once, and keep its star count up to date. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: when a message has enough stars, copy it to the starboard once, and keep its star count up to date.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
