To make a Discord server, you first need a Discord account. Head to Discord.com and sign up!

[{"selector":"#anim-e84aaaf3-5f71-4ef3-8911-5f0f56732141","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-322ba6c4-8b2e-4a52-91d9-678a5b3c9973","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc2e1980-601e-4306-be41-170f805c3dea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Creating a Discord server is straightforward. Navigate to Discord, open the app, and click the (+) round server icon on the left-hand side. When you hover over it, it will say, “add a server.”

[{"selector":"#anim-a1da0a48-9cca-4139-a91b-433bec3e312f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34a80f7d-6fb6-4be6-9371-50c0071261e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0b47250-b9dd-4020-99b3-f27bfa684e44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

A pop-up will appear that gives you the option to create your own server or choose from various templates.

[{"selector":"#anim-15f91285-fd67-4d77-be36-3e7f1c4ad339","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9fc8bc8c-6fa1-4d39-b19a-e7d553a7652a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57878db5-ebe9-45a3-a2df-4d556d7fe0f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

The templates already have some channels and categories created for you, while if you opt to create your own, you will have to make them from scratch.

[{"selector":"#anim-19336c59-84b9-4bbc-b3dd-42102c73095a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee3d5205-8b98-450d-baa5-3a41eac85133","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-99.17808%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa487c52-1b75-4606-b41d-07bd3490aa20","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Next, decide whether your server is public or private. A public server allows additional options that will help you with moderation.

[{"selector":"#anim-82f65dc2-4a41-4a1c-87d3-24e6ce9360a4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14506580-99e1-43c3-8451-578880fa3569","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-efbc3b60-8d3f-41ab-87a9-e3d97afd5121","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

The last step is naming your server and uploading an image icon. Give your server a name that aligns with your brand and goals.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d221651-7981-4fd5-8c64-d7c4f9e7f37b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-889ce4be-f946-4963-9d7e-d9b0115ef81f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91399506-41a6-47d9-9cfd-3df6927a601e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
