How to Search, Find and Join a Discord Server

Searching for new Discord Communities is easy with Server Discovery. In this titillating How-To video, you’ll learn where this feature is in the desktop app. Navigate to the bottom of the sidebar to find the compass icon that reads “Explore Public Servers.”

Go ham, egg and cheese on the search bar to discover featured Discord servers about anything from gaming, to music, art, student hubs, education, science, tech (short for technology), or just about any other place that you can imagine, have imagined, or ever will imagine in this temporal reality.

Once you’ve found a Discord server you want to join, you can click on it to enter “Preview Mode,” which gives you the opportunity to lurk and get a feel for the community before you join – a chance to scope things out before you decide that you want to get in on the action. Once you’re ready, just press the eponymous “Join” button and it will trigger a series of complex digital mechanisms that will seamlessly allow you to enter your new community.

Thanks! I got discord first in 2016. I’ve just been staring at the menu, wishing that I could have friends and a community to be in. This saved me!

Hey, if I may ask.
Why do desktop have more accessibility than mobile device? Example.

Hypesquad,
Role view,
Server discovery,
Ect,

I know you can go in desktop site but it doesn't feel comfortable because all the buttons are small.

[Jam_Axo]

thanks for this helpful guide! i thought servers were nitro only for 6 years until now

[pjw-]

finally after 20 years I finally can join a server

[TheHimikoToga]

Wow I needed this so much, I’ve been trying to find a server for 18 years but I couldn’t find this, this helped and now I’m in 738 servers

[SoundDrout]

Nice tips, I would recommend hitting the Entertainment tab and viewing the 6th server on the list 😉

[peace]

Thanks for adding it only to desktop, i couldn't fimd the server i wanted to join for alot of days.

[Mulakulu]

so, why is it only available on desktop? I've needed it on mobile before but was forced to open a browser and set it to desktop mode. whyyy?

[Mart-E]

The last update made the discord app feel terrible. Everything feels laggy and clunky, it was perfectly smooth and fine before why change it. The animations all look like 15 fps. Awful redesign

[Crazybbsaber]

Among the first in a new discord video, can't believe

[deathstargeckos]

Simple straight to the point. Thanks a ton good sir

[stagecancer]

Wtf with the new update, couldn't play a video the sound is on but the video remain freeze blank as the colour of discord background
