Discord Town Hall

If you’ve ever searched for a speedrun trick or a boss guide and wished you could find the answer someone already gave in a Discord server, this one’s for you. Here’s what’s changing for Discoverable Servers.

What's changing Discoverable Servers have 1K+ members, and their admins chose to list them in Server Discovery so anyone can join them with no invite link needed. Soon, they’ll be easier to find on the web, so people can find answers and jump right into the community they came from.

How it's rolling out

• Nov 16: Every Discoverable Server that doesn’t already have a Server Web Page will get one. Server Web Pages may also start showing summaries of discussions in public channels.
• Mid-December: If a server’s admins allow it, some messages from public channels can start appearing on Server Web Pages and in web search. It’s rolling out gradually, so it may be a few weeks before the first ones appear.

Quick TLDR - You're in control of your messages

• Private servers, DMs, and group DMs are not part of this. This only applies to Discoverable Servers.
• Usernames and avatars are not shown next to messages.
• Channels where content may appear on the web will be labeled, so you'll know before you send a message.
• Messages you sent before mid-December won’t be shown on the web.
• Don't want your messages shown? Turn it off anytime in User Settings > Data and Privacy. One switch covers every Discoverable Server you're in.

Heads up - that setting covers your individual messages. Channel Summaries are separate and controlled by each server's admins. If you're in the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, or South Korea, this setting is off by default. Users in the teen age group are excluded from Channel Messages until they’re an adult.

Nitro members can now customize their typing indicator, a feature currently in Beta. Instead of the usual "is typing...", you can pick a few emojis, an animation, and a phrase that shows up for everyone in the chat while you type.

We want to add more phrases, and we'd love your ideas! To name a few new options we’re considering: howling, cooking, screaming, purring

What else should we add? Anything is possible (well, almost anything).

Drop your suggestions HERE: https://ptb.discord.com/channels/169256939211980800/1557058438297686066

Coming soon...

Dropping today - we've got frights, we've got delights, and we've even got some spooky surprises up our sleeve dropping later this month…

Town Hall is dressing up for the occasion, and we'll have lots of goodies that await us in the server this month. But let's see what happenings are dropping today, shall we?

Caludron Chaos Drops in the Shop

Lottie and her familar, Hex, have an all new shop dropping today! Lurk on over to the Shop for the new Cauldron Chaos drop!

Between now and October 14th, if you manage to collect four items from the Cauldron Chaos drop, even if they’re gifted to you, you’ll be treated to an exclusive fifth collectible.

Gift Nitro, Summon Your Own Familiar

Starting today until November 3rd, gift Nitro to a friend and you’ll summon one of Lottie’s shapeshifting familiars: Hex, Crowseph, or Umbra. Yours to keep!

In-App Features (Almost) Ready to Rattle

Lottie’s bewitching dark magic will soon be transforming Discord with a new loading animation, and very special ringtone collab that can only be described as cursed (compliment). Check back here on October 7th for all the devilish details.

Want to see more? All of the details can be found in our blog!

*Here's the Discord Changelog from September 25, 2026, so you can stay informed on what's new in recent app updates! *

Hi everyone,

Today we're announcing the rollout of our new age assurance options, which you can read about here. Thanks to some changes we've made, most of you will not have to take any action at all.

Here's the TL;DR:

• Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we're launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback and which means more than 90% of you won't be asked to confirm your age.
• You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed. We don't look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
• If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same.

We've got some more info in the image below, and if you want all the details you can read the full announcement here.
