Everything, answered

Discords.ai is a free Discord server list and community directory, also written as DiscordsAI or Discords AI. It is where people find Discord servers to join by category, tag, size and language, and where server owners list their community free, bump it to the top of the directory, and track where their members actually come from. Every listing on Discords.ai is claimed through Discord OAuth and reviewed by a human before it goes live.

Yes. Listing, voting, reviews, bumping and basic analytics are all free forever, with no card required. Paid tiers exist for people who want to grow faster: shorter bump cooldowns, auto-bump, featured placement, monthly credits and advanced analytics.

Use the category filters on the browse page to narrow by gaming, anime, music, technology, social and more, then sort by members, votes or most recently bumped. You can also stack tags and search by keyword to get to something specific, like a small server for one game rather than a large general one.

No. Browsing, searching, filtering and opening any listing all work signed out, and the join links go straight to Discord. You only need an account to do things that belong to a person rather than a page: voting, leaving a review, posting to the feed, earning credits, and listing or managing a server.

You sign in with Discord, which is the only sign-in method. We receive your Discord username, user ID, avatar and the list of servers where you have Manage Server permission, which is what makes claiming a listing possible. We cannot read your messages, we cannot post as you, and we cannot join or leave servers on your behalf. You can revoke the connection from Discord's own authorised apps settings at any time.

Discord is the chat platform where the communities live. Discords.ai is a directory that helps people find those communities, and helps owners get found. We do not host servers, we do not moderate what happens inside them, and joining a server from here takes you to Discord in the normal way. Think of it as a listings site, not a second Discord.

Open the listing and use the join button, which takes you to Discord's own invite screen. If the invite has expired the listing owner needs to refresh it, and you can report a listing whose invite no longer works so we can chase it. Nothing is charged for joining a server, ever.

Click Add Server, sign in with Discord, and pick the server you want to list. You need Manage Server permission on that guild. Listings go live after a quick human review, usually within 24 hours. Write a real description while you are there: listings with a proper long description get indexed by Google and pull in far more organic joins than one-liners.

A specific name, an icon and banner that read clearly at small sizes, accurate categories, and a long description that says who the server is for and what happens in it. Generic listings get skipped by people and ignored by search engines. The single highest-impact change most owners can make is replacing a one-line description with a few honest paragraphs.

Every new listing is checked by a person before it appears, which normally takes under 24 hours and is slower at weekends. The usual reasons for a longer wait are an invite that has already expired, a description too short to tell what the server is, categories that do not match the content, or a name that impersonates something else. If it has been longer than that, contact support with the server name and we will tell you exactly what is holding it up.

The common causes are a dead or single-use invite, no meaningful description, a server that is empty or has no visible activity, adult content that was not marked NSFW, impersonating another community or brand, and anything that breaks Discord's own Terms of Service. Rejection is not a ban: fix the cause and resubmit.

Yes, from your dashboard, at any time. You can change the description, categories, tags, banner and invite, and you can delete the listing outright. Editing a live listing does not send it back to review unless the change is substantial. Deleting it removes it from the directory and from our sitemap on the next rebuild.

One account can hold several listings, and the number of slots depends on your plan, with bundles available for people running multiple communities. The free tier is enough for a single server; if you manage a network, the bundle plans are cheaper per server than listing them individually.

Report the listing and tell us it is yours. Because claiming requires Manage Server permission through Discord OAuth, we can verify ownership directly rather than taking anyone's word for it, and hand the listing over or remove it.

Yes, if you mark it correctly. NSFW listings are placed behind an age confirmation and are kept out of general browsing for anyone who has not confirmed they are 18 or over. Failing to mark an adult server is the fastest way to have it removed, so mark it honestly at submission.

Bumping pushes your server back to the top of the directory listing, in the same way bumping a forum thread works. Free servers can bump every 6 hours, Silver every 2 hours, Gold every 30 minutes and Platinum every 15 minutes. Gold and above can also enable Auto-Bump, which fires the moment each cooldown ends so you never miss a window. You can bump from your dashboard or by typing /bump in your own server once the bot is added.

Invite the bot from your dashboard, then use /bump in any channel it can post in. It replies with a banner showing your server, which doubles as something your members can react to. Use /reminderchannel to choose where it posts the reminder when your cooldown is up, so bumping stops depending on someone remembering.

Auto-Bump bumps your server automatically the moment each cooldown expires, without anyone being awake to do it. It is included from Gold upwards. In practice this is the single largest difference between the paid tiers and the free one, because a free server bumped twice a day sits far lower in the directory than one bumped every 30 minutes around the clock.

Yes. An extra bump can be bought with credits, which costs 150 credits and skips the current cooldown once. Credits are earned free by checking in daily, voting, listing a server and writing reviews, so an active account can bump beyond its tier without paying anything.

Featured slots come with Gold and Platinum, and appear in the carousel at the top of the homepage where they get the most impressions on the site. You can also win short featured windows from the prize wheel in the credits shop without paying anything.

Almost always because other servers bumped more recently than yours. Directory order is driven by recency of bump, with votes and activity feeding into browse ranking, so position decays continuously rather than being lost in one event. If you have not bumped today and your competitors have, that is the whole explanation.

No, and it is worth being clear about it. Bumping moves you within this directory only. What helps you in Google is your listing page itself being worth indexing: a real description, accurate categories, genuine reviews and members arriving through it. We index listings that have substance and leave out the ones that do not, which is better for everyone including you.

List it here, then bump it every time your cooldown resets so it returns to the top of the directory. Ask your existing members to vote, since votes drive leaderboard position. Post updates to the community feed, add clear categories and tags so people can find you by interest, and keep your description specific about what your server is actually for.

Discovery is the first half and retention is the second. For discovery: list in a directory, bump consistently, target specific categories rather than generic ones, and give your listing a description someone can actually evaluate. For retention: have something happening in the first five minutes after someone joins, whether that is a welcome flow, a starter channel or a recurring event. A server that gains 100 members and keeps 5 has a retention problem, not a promotion problem.

Signed-in users can vote once per server every 12 hours. Votes decide leaderboard ranking and feed into where your server appears in browse results. Voting also earns you credits, which you can spend in the shop on boosts and cosmetics.

The feed is where listed servers post updates, events, giveaways and news, and where people browsing the directory see what is actually happening rather than just a wall of listings. Posting is a discovery channel that costs nothing: a server that posts something worth reading gets seen by people who were not searching for it.

Yes, in both directions. A listing with genuine reviews converts far better than one without, because a stranger deciding whether to join is looking for evidence other people found it worthwhile. Reviews are attached to real accounts and can be voted on, and buying or faking them is grounds for removal.

Every account gets a referral link. When someone signs up through it, both of you benefit, and you can see how many people have joined through your link from your dashboard. It is the lowest-effort way to earn credits if you already have an audience.

A Discord server is where an audience becomes a community: it is the place viewers go between streams and uploads. Creators typically run announcement channels wired to their go-live alerts, a clips channel members post to themselves, and subscriber-only areas linked to Twitch or YouTube memberships. Listing the server in a directory adds a discovery channel that keeps working while you are offline, which is the part most creators leave on the table.

Yes, and the honest routes are narrower than the hype suggests. Discord's own Server Subscriptions and Shop let you charge for perks natively. Beyond that, communities monetise through Patreon tiers, sponsorships once the audience is large and specific enough, paid access to genuine expertise such as tutoring or coaching, and affiliate arrangements. What consistently fails is charging for access to an empty server. Build something people would stay in for free first, then monetise the depth.

Yes. Crypto, finance and business are among the busiest categories on the directory, covering trading floors, DeFi and NFT communities, market analysis rooms and general personal-finance servers. Filter by the Crypto or Finance category to see what is active right now. A word of caution that applies to every directory: a server promising guaranteed returns or asking you to send funds to join is a scam, and you can report any listing that does so.

Credits are the site currency. They buy extra bumps outside your cooldown, cosmetic borders and glows for your listings and posts, spins on the prize wheel, and short premium trials. They are not a cryptocurrency, they have no value off the site, and nothing on the site is only available for money.

Every new account starts with 20 credits. After that: 15 for checking in each day, a 100 credit bonus every seven days you keep a streak going, 5 for each vote you cast and 3 each time one of your servers is voted for, 50 for listing a server, and 10 for writing a review. Paid tiers also drop monthly credits into each subscribed server, 200 on Silver, 500 on Gold and 2,000 on Platinum.

A spin in the credits shop that costs credits and pays out cosmetics, credit packs, bumps and occasional featured placement. It is entertainment funded by credits you can earn free, not a payment mechanism, and the odds are the same whether the credits were earned or bought.

Shorter bump cooldowns, Auto-Bump from Gold upwards, featured placement in the homepage carousel on Gold and Platinum, monthly credits per subscribed server, deeper analytics, and cosmetic options for your listing. Plans are priced per server rather than per account, and bundles exist for people running several communities.

From your dashboard billing section, at any time, without contacting anyone. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the plan active until the end of the period you have already paid for. Your listing stays up afterwards; it simply returns to free-tier cooldowns and loses featured placement.

Contact support and explain what happened. We would rather sort out a genuine problem than argue about a small sum, and we will tell you honestly if we think the answer is no. Credits already spent on the prize wheel or on consumables cannot be returned, for the obvious reason.

Card payments through Stripe and PayPal. Card details are handled entirely by the payment provider and never reach our servers.

Every listing is claimed through Discord OAuth, so only someone with Manage Server permission on that guild can list or edit it. Listings are reviewed before they go live, invites are checked against Discord, NSFW servers are gated behind an age confirmation, and anyone can report a listing that breaks the rules.

Every listing, feed post and review carries a report control. Reports go to a moderation queue rather than into a void, and the serious categories, meaning scams, sexual content involving minors, and threats, are looked at first. Include a reason: a report that says only 'bad' is much slower to act on than one that says what happened.

Scams and anything promising guaranteed financial returns, sexual content involving minors, doxxing and harassment, invites that lead somewhere other than what the listing describes, impersonating another community or brand, unmarked adult content, and anything that breaks Discord's own Terms of Service. Listings that do these are removed, and accounts that do them repeatedly are banned.

Adult listings must be marked NSFW at submission. They are hidden from general browsing until a visitor confirms they are 18 or over, and that confirmation is remembered on your account rather than only in the browser you confirmed it in. Failing to mark an adult server is treated as a rule breach, not an oversight.

No, and we could not. We moderate what appears on this site: listings, descriptions, feed posts, reviews and images. What happens inside someone's Discord server is Discord's jurisdiction and the owner's responsibility. If a server itself is breaking Discord's rules, report it to Discord as well as to us, because we can remove the listing but only they can act on the server.

Yes. Contact support from the email address on the account and ask for the reason. If it was a mistake we will reverse it, and if it was not we will tell you what happened rather than leaving you guessing.

Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link, and one click is enough; you do not need to sign in or confirm anything. You can also switch notifications off individually from your dashboard, so you can keep bump reminders while dropping everything else. Emails about your own account, such as a payment receipt, are not marketing and are sent regardless.

They tell you when a bump cooldown is up, which is the only reliable way to bump on time without Auto-Bump. They are off until you enable them, they can be turned off from the same place, and revoking the permission in your browser turns them off just as effectively.

Your Discord account identifiers and avatar, the servers you have listed, your votes, reviews, posts and credit history, and basic analytics about how listings perform. We do not sell personal data, and we do not need your email to be anything other than the one Discord gives us.

Contact support and ask. Deleting an account removes your listings, posts, reviews and votes along with it, which is usually what people want and occasionally is not, so tell us if you would rather transfer a listing to someone else first.

Yes. The site is built for phones as much as desktops, and it can be installed to your home screen from your browser's share menu, after which it behaves like an app and can deliver bump reminders as notifications.
