    Engaging people to join Discord community. How? 👾

    I'm relatively new to it, and wondering what non-spam techniques are effective in growing a Discord community. Currently, we primarily use Twitter to invite new members, but it doesn't seem to be very effective. Should we consider offering something like a promo code or special benefits within our app to encourage Discord subscriptions? Our main goal for using Discord is to gather feedback and bug reports. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻

    @ffffilipp there has to be something extremely compelling for people to not only come over, but stay and keep engaging there. there has to be something offered there on your server that is quite differentiating from what you offer people on other touchpoints. you have to reward people for moving all along your funnel and going to discord and keeping them engaged and happy there and offer as much value as you can to keep them there and move further along your funnel.

    If you have some DAU at your product/service - it might be a good idea to put a button inside the product like 'join community" Also mentioning in regular newsletter that now you have a discord might help

    Include discord link in your email onboarding. Put the discord link on your tech & helpdesk documentation
