How To Make A Good Discord Server

This is a quick guide for users who are starting their first Discord server.
Everything might seem complicating at first, but if you read through the essentials each server needs and configure these, the setup is a breeze.


1. 🤖 Moderation Bot
Firstly, every server needs a moderation bot, such as Dyno Bot.

2. 📈 Leveling / Engagement Bot
You need a bot to motivate users to chat and gain something. A leveling bot does the trick.
We suggest 🔗 https://activityrank.me/

➤ Rewards users with roles and such for when they level up.


3. 📢 Advertisement / Growth
Advertisement bot. Ok, so now for the part we all wish was faster and easier: growing the Discord server.

There are a few ways to grow your server.
No, going around and spamming people and other servers with invites is not the way.

Instead, we should use platforms like:
🔗 https://disboard.org/
🔗 https://discordhome.com/

➤ These let you list your Discord server and bump it to be visible to thousands of users.
➤ Growth takes time and effort.


4. 🏷 Roles & Channels
Every server should have roles that give value to what your server is about. For example, a community server should have age roles, gender roles, etc.

➤ Channels for different things like pictures, chatting.

If you want to skip this part, you can find pre-made templates here:
🔗 https://xenon.bot/templates

➤ However, we suggest customizing things to match the vibe you want.


5. 🛡 Protection
Last but not least, protection.

One of the biggest and most damaging issues with new servers is that they often get nuked.

Now, what does that mean?
Say you go and give a random person admin permissions. Now that person, if they one day feel like it, can go and ban every user in the server and delete all channels, which is called nuking.

➤ This happens more often than you think.

For this, we need protection. The best bot for this is:
🔗 https://wickbot.com/

⚠️ And never give admin permissions to people.


What does it mean to make a good server?

Making a good server isn't just about adding bots and configuring the server. Building a good server requires you to be unique and ambitious.

First, decide your niche. Do you want a gaming server, a community chatting server?
Then go look at the best servers in that niche. Can you create something better than what those servers offer?
Can you provide more value for those members?

If the answer is yes, that's what creating a good server is all about.

✦ Take some time to be creative with your Discord server name and the vibe you want to go for, the colors, and aesthetic.
✦ Then build your server around that vibe.


How I created a 150,000 member Discord Server

I currently own a few servers, with my largest one being 150,000 users. I started this server back in 2020, merely 6 years ago.

I remember the first thousand users, it felt so special. Then 5,000 users, I felt like I had accomplished something I never thought I would.
But those were just numbers. My goal was to create a place for people to make connections and have a good time, with good server management and fun features.

My goal was never to make a server reach thousands or hundreds of thousands of users. That was just the result of the other goals I had.

✦ It's important to focus on the goal, which is always making your server better.
✦ Making sure it's always the best it can be.
✦ Take community feedback.
✦ Don't abuse powers and build a good brand.

And remember, no matter what you do, growth is something that takes time and effort.

✦ It took me 6 years to get to 150,000 users.
✦ It does not happen overnight, but it pays off in the end.
