Click the "Discovery" tab in the Discord desktop app. It's located in the bottom left corner and looks like a compass.
- This icon isn't available on the Discord mobile app, so you have to use the desktop app.
-
Find a community to join. Browse the featured servers or the popular categories, or search for a community. You'll see a list of featured servers, showing you a brief description of the server, how many users are online, and how many users have joined the server.
- Along the top of your screen, you'll see common server categories, like Gaming and Science & Tech .
- In the top right corner, you'll see a search bar where you can search for specific communities. Enter your search term like, "Cats" or "Roblox", then browse the search results for a server you like.

Click a server you want to join. You should see a preview of the server, which might only show you the Announcements channel.
- Server creators can set up privacy on their servers so people who aren't joined can't see discussion history or specific channels.
-
Click Join SERVERNAME . In the banner at the top of the app window, you'll see a button that you can click to join the server. It says the server's name instead of "SERVERNAME."
- If you don't like the server from the preview, click Back to return to the search results page and find another server.
- Depending on the server, you might need to answer a few questions and set your role before you can start interacting in channels.

-
Look at subreddit information. If you're part of a subreddit and want to continue the conversation, look below the name of the subreddit for any Discord information. In many cases, if a Discord exists for that subreddit, it will show up there.
-
Check for hashtags on social media. If you're interested in a topic, posts referring to that topic might include hashtags that lead to a discord server.
-
Larger Discord communities can link to smaller ones. If you're in a larger, more general Discord server, a channel that you're interested in that's more niche might have its own server. You might find this information in the channel's description or in a pinned message.
-
Ask your friends or other community members. They might have a great suggestion for a Discord server!
-
Gaming platforms often have their own Discord servers. You'll find servers for Epic, Ubisoft, and other gaming platforms simply by looking at their websites; you can find more specific Discord servers for specific games, like Assassin's Creed or Disney Dreamlight Valley, within their main servers.
