How to find a Discord server for any game in under two minutes
Every game has an official server, a big community server and a hundred dead ones. Here is how to find the first two and skip the rest.
Finding a game's Discord should take two minutes. It usually takes twenty because the first ten results are expired invites. Here is the short path.
1. Check for an official server first
Most publishers run one and link it from the game's website footer, the launcher, or the store page ("Community" or "Discord" buttons). Official servers are large, moderated by the studio, and the best source for patch notes and LFG channels. On Discordfinder the gaming tag lists the official servers for Minecraft, Valorant, Fortnite, Genshin, Elden Ring, Rust, Terraria and more with live counts.
2. Find the community-run one
Community servers are where teammates live. The largest ones are often tied to the game's subreddit (r/leagueoflegends, r/Pokemon, r/OnePiece run huge Discords). Search the game name here, then sort by Most active — the top result is where people talk today.
3. Verify it is alive before you join
Three checks, ten seconds:
- Online now vs members. A healthy server has at least a few percent online. 60k members with 300 online is a museum.
- Messages per day and the seven-day activity chart on the listing page.
- "checked X minutes ago" on the card — the invite was tested recently.
If you are on another directory without these numbers, click the invite: Discord shows online and member counts in the join preview.
4. Use filters for what you actually want
- Looking for teammates: filter Voice channels and Active or Very active.
- Looking for a calmer place: Server size under 1k, sort Most active.
- Non-English: the Language filter uses the server's own locale.
5. Read the landing channel, then decide
A good server tells you in three lines who it is for and how to get roles. If the first channel is a wall of rules and ads, the rest usually follows.
The recipe in one line
Official server for news → biggest active community server for people → filter by voice and size for your style. Start with servers or a specific game like Valorant or Minecraft.
