Summary

A Discord server's welcome experience is crucial for new members to feel at home and understand the community's goals, expectations, and rules. Many servers create a comprehensive onboarding process involving a welcome message, introductory channels, and customization questions to assign roles and channels. Some servers also use bots to automate tasks, such as assigning roles based on reactions or creating self-serve channel curation processes. Building a Discord welcome experience requires careful consideration of the community's purpose, goals, and tone, as well as providing necessary information about rules, channel access, and introduction templates for newcomers.
