Discord is a chat service for gamers with over 150 million users that’s becoming an excellent tool for people to create and join communities.
However, while it’s easy to create a discord server, it’s hard to get people to join your Discord.
But don’t worry, there are many ways you can promote your server, increase its member count and make it more successful.
This blog post will walk you through the 3 best tactics for growing a discord server in 2021.
How To Get People To Join Your Discord?
-
Add Your Server To Discord Server Directories
The first way to grow your Discord server is to add it to a Discord server directory.
Because it’s impossible to search Discord servers on Discord itself, many directory websites have been created that allow people to post information about their Discord server’s so it can be found by other people who are looking for new Discords to join.
These are the top 5 Discord server directories that you can add your server to:
- Top.gg – top.gg
- DiscordMe – discord.me
- Disboard – disboard.orgg
- Discords – discords.com
- Discord Street – discord.st
Each of these websites have their own instructions for uploading your server to their site but the process is pretty simple on all of them. You just have to follow their basic instructions.
Once you’ve added your server to the directory, people will then be able to search and find your Discord based on the information you’ve provided. This easily allows new people to join your server through search and it will slowly but surely help grow your Discord.

Share Your Discord Server On Social Media
This is by far the fastest way to grow a Discord server, especially if you already have a large social media following (on any platform). If that’s the case, all you have to do is make a post about your Discord and give your followers a Discord link to join your server. You’ll easily get new Discord members in an instant if you have a large following and give them a reason to join.
However, if you don’t have a large following, you can still grow your Discord by paying other social media influencers with large followings to shoutout to your Discord.
For example: if you have a Minecraft Discord server, you can contact Minecraft pages on TikTok and Instagram and pay them to shoutout your Discord server invite link. It won’t be free and could cost a lot depending on the amount of followers the influencer has but this is by far the best way to grow a Discord in 2021.
Of course, if you can’t afford to buy shoutouts, you can always spend your time building up your own social media accounts and then promote your Discord from them.

Post Your Discord Server On Reddit’s r/discordservers
r/discordservers is a Discord server directory subreddit on Reddit.com where people can post information about their Discord and a link to it for people to join.
The subreddit has over 115,000 members, so there are people here that are looking for cool, new, fun servers to join.
However, in our experience, this is the least effective way to get people to join your Discord. There are just too many other people also posting their own Discords, but it’s still worth a shot.
