How to Build a Mobile Gaming Discord Server
Mobile gaming is massive โ and mobile gamers are an underserved audience on Discord. Here's how to build a server they'll love.
Key Differences for Mobile Gaming Communities
Mobile gamers interact differently:
- Many access Discord from their phones (typing is harder)
- Sessions are shorter and more casual
- Popular titles are very different (Clash of Clans, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, Pokemon GO)
- Heavy bot command usage is annoying on mobile
Design your server with these differences in mind.
