The 12-point checklist before you list your Discord server anywhere
A listing is a first impression at scale. Run through these twelve items once and you will convert more of the clicks you earn.
A listing brings strangers to your door. These twelve items decide whether they stay.
Before the invite is public
- Permanent invite to a channel that will never be deleted. Or list from your dashboard and let our bot create it.
- A landing channel that explains the server in three lines and points to roles.
- Rules under 120 words, long version in a thread.
- Roles that unlock channels. Fewer channels visible at first join means less overwhelm.
- One moderation bot with automod on. Which one.
- Verification level at least medium to slow down raids.
The listing itself
- Description, 240 characters, written like a friend would describe it: who it is for, what happens, when.
- Five honest tags. Tag pages are where people find you.
- Correct language — filters depend on it.
- 18+ flag set truthfully.
- A banner or a clean gradient. Blurry screenshots hurt more than no image.
After listing
- Owner presence. Post from the owner account every two weeks at minimum; it is 15 points of your health score and it shows members the lights are on.
Bonus: measure the right thing
Your dashboard shows impressions (how often your card was seen), join clicks, and the click-through rate between them. A low CTR with high impressions means the card is weak — fix the description and the first tag. A high CTR with low retention means the landing channel is weak — fix items 2 to 4.
Ready? List your server — no invite pasting needed if you manage it on Discord.
