Discord Server Discovery: Prepare for Google Indexing

Quick heads-up on a Discord change that affects you if your server is Discoverable (1,000+ members with Server Discovery on). If you’re under 1,000, nothing changes for you yet; skip to the last line.

What’s coming

• Nov 16: every Discoverable Server gets a public web page at discord.com/servers/your-server, plus AI summaries of the channels you pick. Mandatory while you’re Discoverable.
• Mid-December: actual messages from the public channels you enable start showing up in Google. Usernames hidden. Only new messages, nothing from before.
• It’s all on by default, including public channels and most members’ settings.

**What to do (15 minutes)
**
- Open Server Settings → Community → Web Presence. Keep help, guide and Q&A channels on. Turn off memes, general chat and bot spam.
- Turn on AutoMod and our AI moderation tool for every channel you leave on. Once a message is indexed, treat it as permanent, especially for Discord
- Tell your members before Discord does. Which channels, usernames hidden, opt-out at User Settings → Data & Privacy. Template in the guide below.
- Forums: if you don’t have forum channels for help, set them up now. One question, one title, one answer per post is the format Google ranks, and it teaches members to post real questions instead of chit-chat. Mark solved threads as solved.
- Announcements: write them for someone who hasn’t found you yet. Instead of “we shipped X,” say “if you’re hitting problem Y, here’s how X fixes it.” Stay on your topic, post on a regular cadence, and spell-check. AI engines match questions to answers, so make it obvious which question each announcement answers.

**What about CommunityOne? **
Keep both. Discord publishes new messages going forward and will win most direct clicks when people use traditional google search. Your CommunityOne listing publishes your opted-in members’ full history, and adds two things Discord doesn’t: a clean AI summary of every thread, written so answer engines can quote it as the answer, and translations into six more languages so the same thread can be the result in Spanish, Portuguese or German. Nothing changes on your listing; the two are better together.
