If you’re just starting out on Discord, it can be tricky to figure out how you can join a server. You typically need an invite from the server admin or the moderator to join a server. But sometimes the invite link is available publicly.
How to Join a Discord Server?
There are two types of servers on Discord, Private and Public. So accordingly, there are varying ways to join these servers.
Joining a Private Server
The only way you can join a private server is through an Invite link. Someone from the designated server must send you an invite link personally to your Discord messages. Then, you’ll need to click on the Join button, which will add you to the server. If you got the link through other sources, you will be prompted to continue through Discord and click on Join. Another way you can join a private server is by copying and pasting the link. Follow these steps to do so. On Desktop On Mobile
