Server Growth Guide

How to Promote Your Discord Server

Effective strategies to grow your server. Combine multiple methods to continuously build your community.

About Realistic Expectations

Promoting doesn't guarantee immediate member growth. The keys to success are an attractive description, appropriate tags, and most importantly, making your server a welcoming place. Be patient and don't expect instant results.

List on Server Directories
Register on multiple Discord server listing sites to get discovered

Start by registering on Disboard (the largest), then add your server to Discope, Dissoku, and other sites to reach different user bases.

2
Social Media Promotion
Promote your server on X (Twitter), Reddit, and other social media

Use relevant hashtags to share your server's appeal. Sharing images that convey your server's atmosphere and event info is effective. You can also use Reddit's r/discordservers.

3
Collaborate with Other Servers
Cross-promote and co-host events with servers of similar themes

By partnering with servers sharing similar interests, you can grow each other's communities. Consider hosting collaboration events or setting up cross-promotion channels.

4
Discord's Official Discovery
Register on Discord's official server discovery for more visibility

Registering on Discord's Server Discovery feature makes your server searchable directly within Discord. However, you need to meet certain requirements (member count, activity, etc.).

5
Improve Community Quality
Encourage word-of-mouth through engaging server management

Ultimately, server quality matters most. Fun events, active conversations, and a friendly atmosphere will naturally encourage members to invite their friends.

Traits of Successful Communities

Clear Theme

The clearer your server's purpose and target audience, the easier it is for interested people to join.

Active Communication

Servers with regular conversations and events make members feel at home.

Welcoming Atmosphere

A culture of warmly welcoming new members leads to growth through word of mouth.

Discope's Activity Ranking

Discope measures activity using 4 metrics: participation rate, activity hours, conversation quality, and message distribution. No bump commands needed—your daily activity is reflected in the ranking.
