Servers on Discord are what groups are on most social media platforms. So creating a Discord community server would be like creating a group that is open for everyone to join. But you should know how to start a Discord community to begin with.

While you might know how to create a Discord server with your friends, creating a community server is slightly different. For starters, community servers aren’t limited to the people you add or invite; they can be joined by anyone who wants to join them. This article will show how to set up Discord community server.

Once you have created a Discord community server, make sure to add a good picture and banner image to your server to make it look good.

All the huge community servers are already listed at the top of the public servers page. But if you want to filter out by interests, you can type that in the search bar, and you will find plenty of Discord servers that you can join. You can even sort community servers based on topics like anime, gaming, memes, etc.

If you want to create a Discord community server, you can do it in a few easy steps. But after creating your server, you will still have to send invites so people can join your server. Your Discord server will only reach the public servers discover page when it meets all the requirements.

These are the requirements your server needs to meet to be discovered by strangers:

  • Maintain the community guidelines and be a safe environment
  • Must contain at least 1000 members
  • Your Discord community server must be at least 8 weeks old
  • Must have at least 200 active members
  • Names and descriptions shouldn’t contain inappropriate words
  • 2FA requirement for moderation setting should be enabled

Here’s a little tip to keep your server active, make your own bots and program them to keep the servers active at all times.
