Steps
Open the Discord app and sign in. If you are new, tap Register to make a free account with your email address first.
Open your server list by tapping the menu icon or swiping right, then tap the + button at the bottom of the list.
Tap Create My Own on the next screen. This starts a brand new server instead of joining one you were invited to.
Pick a starting point. Choose For me and my friends for a private hangout, or For a club or community if you plan to grow it.
Type a server name. Keep it short and clear so people recognise it in their own server list.
Tap the camera circle to upload a server icon, then tap Create. A square image of at least 512 by 512 pixels looks sharp on phones.
Add more channels by tapping the + next to a category. Give each channel a topic name like general, photos or gaming.
Tap the server name, then Invite People to get a link. Choose Edit invite link and set it to never expire so it keeps working.
Send the link in a chat, message or email. Anyone who taps it can join your new server.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a name and icon that match the purpose so members know they are in the right place.
Group channels into categories as the server grows, or the channel list gets long and hard to scroll.
Set your invite link to never expire so old links you shared still work later.
Check the default permissions before inviting people, since new members can post in most channels straight away.
Questions
Do I need a computer to make a Discord server?
No. The phone app has the full create flow, so you can set up a server and invite friends from iPhone or Android alone.
How do I invite friends to my new server?
Open the server, tap its name, then tap Invite People and share the link. You can copy it or send it through another app.
Can I delete a server I made by mistake?
Yes. Go to the server settings, scroll to the bottom and choose Delete Server. You must be the owner to do this.
