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.
How To Create Community Server On Discord?
You will need the Discord app on your device if you want to set up a Discord community. So follow these steps to create a Discord community server:
- Open Discord and click on the plus icon in the left sidebar.
- Scroll down to find the ‘Local community’ option and click on it.
- Select ‘For a club or community’ and then add a name and picture for your server.
- Click Create to add your server to the community Discord servers.
Now that you have created a community server, it’s time to enable this community server.
How To Enable Discord Server To A Community Server?
While you can enable the created server into a community server, you can also follow these steps to convert one of your existing servers into a community server:
- Open the Discord server and click on the down arrow to open the drop-down.
- Select ‘Server settings’ and then click on ‘Enable community’ under the Community tab.
- Click on ‘Get started’ and set up the server by following the onscreen instructions.
- Select ‘Create one for me’ for the the guidelines and updates channel, then click Next.
- Tick ‘I agree and understand’ and click ‘Finish setup.’
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.
Now even though your server is a community server, you won’t be able to find it among other public servers unless you turn on the Discovery setting. And the Discovery can only be turned on if your server meets all the requirements.
What Are The Best Discord Communities To Join?
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.
