NAVIGATING DISCORD PART 2.

Discord is a space where members of web 3 connect with each other. The reason why discord is loved by all is still a mystery to me as everyone have different reasons for loving discord.

Personally, I like its security, layouts and easy navigation. Also, video calls and screen sharing is very good with discord. The use of bots and many other tools are what makes discord unique and stand out.

In the previous post, I talked about a lot of things about discord. Ranging from how to create a discord account to how to add up friends in discord.

This post will be a continuation of the link you just clicked.

Here,I will talk about what to do when you join a discord community, and how to get and edit your own discord community.

Ready? Then let's dig in.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU JOIN A DISCORD COMMUNITY

Here on hive, after reading a post of community accounts, you will see at the end where they shared a discord invite.

Something like this above.

Good.

When you click on the link, you will be automatically redirected to discord. If you are using your phone and you have the discord application, you will be redirected to the application. If you don't have the application, then you'll be encouraged to get the app before being able to access the discord community.

There's a hack though

If you are using Google chrome, you can always switch to desktop site, then login your discord account to continue.

When you enter a community for the first time, the first thing you should do is to look for their rules.

Read community rules and make sure to not break any of them.

Next, go to the pinned messages. Some community will want you to introduce yourself before anything. So make sure that you do it.
Read the pinned messages and acclimatize yourself with he environment.

Next, you can send a "hi" in the genera chat or any server that supports chat.

Serves are like the branch of a community. This banch have a purpose they serve. Some are for chatting, some for contest announcement, some for rules, general announcements e.t.c

Make sure that you do not act recklessly to avoid being kicked out of a discord community.

The next step is to edit the community profile photo, edit the name then click on create server. Don't forget to always read the community guidelines.
