how to join a discord server

To join a Discord server, follow these steps:

1. Open the Discord app on your computer or mobile device.
2. Look for the "+" icon on the left sidebar at the bottom of your server list and click it.
3. Select "Join a Server."
4. Enter the invite link you have received for the Discord server.
5. Click the "Join Server" button.
6. Read and agree to the server rules if prompted.
7. Once joined, you can explore the channels and participate in the server community.

Alternatively, you can join public servers by using Discord's Server Discovery feature, accessible via the compass icon on the sidebar, where you can browse or search servers by interests without an invite link. This method works similarly on both desktop and mobile versions of Discord, enabling users to join servers quickly and securely whether they have invite links or find servers via discovery features.
