Option 1: PC program
In addition to the fact that the desktop version of Discord is more functional and provides inaccessible in the mobile application tools for interacting with servers, many prefer to use the messenger through a computer. Therefore, let's talk about the assembly for PC first of all, considering all available methods for searching for servers.Method 1: Invitation to Access
Unfortunately, while there is no special function in the discord, which allows you to find a completely any server by its name or ID, so an invitation link is most often used for joining. If you want to find a server familiar to your friend, ask him to make a link specifically for you - it can take advantage of the following instructions:
- Navigate to the required server and click on its name to open the control menu.
- In it, find the section "Invite people."
- After clicking on it, a small window will appear, where you can directly invite a friend. Invite will come to him in private messages.
- The second option is to copy the generated link. It is unique and acts for a while. The server administrator at any time can view the list of active links and remove them if it is necessary.
- This link can be additionally configured, since it is initially active one day and has an unlimited number of transitions.
Upon receipt of the link, only go through it and confirm the accession to the server. After that, you will be displayed in the list of participants, you will be endowed with standard rights to the administrator, and you can visit open channels.
Method 2: Open Communities Search
Different companies, media faces, game developers or popular communities with their own server fall into a special section inside the Discord, which is used by users to search for new and interesting content. If you just decided to find a server for interest, take advantage of this section (in the mobile application, this section is not available).
- Click the navigation button on the left panel where all your servers are displayed.
- In a new window, the "Travel" community is divided by topics, so you can immediately select the appropriate from the list.
- Check out the selected communities that are directly promoted by Discord. These are usually the largest of all existing servers with a large lively audience and hundreds of channels.
- Using the search string, you can find the server on the game, the name of the media person or another request. In the list with the results, find it and select.
- Read the general information from the creator and select the connection channel. There is still a function "I'm looking for here", which allows you to view channels without joining the server.
- Go over interesting sections and recognize the server's structure. If you want to join, click the "Join ..." button.
Method 3: Sites for server monitoring

Just a monitoring function and useful if you want to find some interesting project for yourself, not included in the list of official communities.
