Using a Discord Server for Your Community

In this video, we take an in-depth look at using Discord for community building and knowledge sharing. Discord started as a platform for gamers to communicate via voice and text channels but has grown tremendously over the past 10+ years.

While Discord is very popular and easy to use, there are some limitations to consider. All information shared on a Discord server is locked inside the app, making it impossible for non-members to discover. This means if you solely use Discord, your community's knowledge, and discussions cannot be found via search engines.

We discuss strategies for mitigating this, such as syndicating content to other sites like forums, Reddit, blogs, and more. Long-term planning is also important—it can be hard to migrate an established Discord community somewhere else.

Overall, Discord is excellent for real-time chats but you'll want to pursue other avenues too if your goal is open information sharing. Come learn best practices for building an online community using Discord along with complementary platforms.
