How To Find Servers On Discord

So, there I was, new to this whole Discord thing, trying to join a server for my favorite game. I'd heard the cool kids were hanging out there, discussing strategies, and planning raids. But how do you find these servers? It's not like there's a big neon sign saying "Game Server Here" in the Discord app. No, no, it's a bit more sneaky than that. But don't worry, I've got you covered. Let's dive in and find those servers together, yeah?

First Things First: Where to Look

Alright, so you've got your Discord app open, and you're ready to start exploring. The first place you wanna check is the Server Discovery tab. You can find it on the left-hand side of your screen, right below your server list. It's a little magnifying glass icon. Click on that, and you'll see a bunch of servers that Discord thinks you might like. It's like Discord's way of saying, "Hey, let's be friends!"

Now, here's where it gets a bit tricky. The servers you see here are based on what you've joined in the past, what your friends have joined, and what's popular right now. So, if you're seeing servers for languages you don't speak or games you've never heard of, it might be time to do a little cleaning up in your friend list. Just saying.

Searching for Specific Servers

Alright, so you've had a browse through the discovery tab, but you're still not seeing what you're looking for. Time to get a bit more specific. Click on the search bar at the top of the Server Discovery tab. Here, you can search for servers by name, or by using keywords. For example, if you're looking for a server about Among Us, you could search "Among Us" or "Imposter" or even "Crewmate".

But wait, there's more! You can also filter your search by region, so you can join servers with people who are in the same time zone as you. No more staying up till 3 AM for a raid, yeah? Just click on the filters icon (it looks like three sliders) and select your region.

Invite Links: The Secret Handshake of Discord

So, you've searched high and low, but you still can't find that one server you're dying to join. It's like trying to find a specific person in a crowded party - you know they're there, but you just can't see them. Well, my friend, it's time to learn about invite links.

Invite links are like the secret handshake of Discord. They're special links that server owners can create to invite new members to their server. If someone shares an invite link with you, all you have to do is click on it, and Discord will automatically add you to the server. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

But how do you get your hands on one of these magical links? Well, that's where the whole "know someone in the crowd" thing comes in. You might see an invite link on a game's official website, or in a forum post, or even in a tweet from the game's developer. It's all about keeping your eyes peeled and your networking skills sharp.

Joining Public Servers

Alright, so you've found a server you want to join, but it's not letting you in. What gives? Well, some servers are private, which means they don't want just anyone joining. They want to keep their community safe and spam-free. But don't worry, there are plenty of public servers out there that are more than happy to have new members.

To join a public server, all you have to do is click the "Join Server" button. Discord will ask you to confirm that you want to join, and then, like magic, you'll be a part of the community. It's that easy. Just remember, once you're in, it's important to follow the server's rules. No one likes a rule-breaker, yeah?

And That's How You Do It

And there you have it, folks. We've gone from clueless newbie to Discord server pro in just a few short steps. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start exploring. Join a server, make some friends, and who knows? You might even learn something new. Happy server hunting!
