Index Forum Content to 50x Discord Growth

Join Community

Summary

The CommunityOne Builders Help forum discussion proposes indexing meaningful, specific knowledge discussions from Discord servers to a server listing, similar to how Reddit content is surfaced in search results. This is intended to increase server discoverability by 50x and attract members interested in existing discussions, leading to higher engagement. Content indexing would require explicit opt-in from both the server owner and the message author, with anonymized usernames, and permissions ca...

Original Post

The basic idea is that we will index meaningful specific knowledge discussion points from your Discord to your own server listing so that when someone is searching for "how to make a femboy outfit", your community discussion will be surfaced on top of the google search results. similar to how Reddit work. People can check out your server and then join if they want.

There are two reasons why we want to do this:
First, 50x more people search for questions/contents compare to a server to join, this means that __your server is 50X more likely to be discovered. __
Second, rather than having people just want to join your server for the sake of "joining", you now have people who are interested in what your members are discussing, this means that they will also contribute and hence make your server more interesting.

In terms of privacy protections. here's the proposal
- Posts and contents will be opted in. That means that unless explicitly approved, most messages will stay private. In addition, both the server owner and the post author (OP or comments) will give us explicit approve and can revoke the permissions at ANY POINTs.
- We will anonymize the username in all cases.

Lastly, I'd like to point out that there are existing bot that is doing this right now: https://www.answeroverflow.com/
Servers include Cloudflare, PUBG Mobile (Official), Valorant (Official) are all using this.
