Learning how to increase Discord server engagement is less about sending more notifications and more about giving members a clear reason to participate. A server can attract hundreds of people and still feel inactive if newcomers do not know where to start, regulars have nothing to respond to, or conversations disappear between announcements. This guide...
Discord badges are small icons that appear on profiles, accounts, bots, servers, or messages. Some are earned through Nitro, server boosting, quests, account activity, or Discord programs. Others are limited, retired, or reserved for staff and verified apps. This guide explains the major Discord badges, how to get the badges that are still available, which...
Discord HypeSquad badges are profile badges for the Bravery, Brilliance, and Balance houses. Discord removed the quiz and HypeSquad settings tab in 2026, but the endpoint used by the old interface can still accept a house assignment. This guide covers what the badges mean, the one unofficial browser-console method to add or change one, how...
Finding an active gaming community online is not as simple as joining the server with the largest member count. A community can show thousands of members while its chat is quiet, its voice channels are empty, and its game-specific channels have not had a real conversation in weeks.

Want to ask your Discord server a question and collect clear answers? You can make a poll in seconds without a bot: click the + button beside the message box, choose Poll, add your question and answers, set the voting options, and click Post. Discord's native Poll feature works in text channels, direct messages, group...
