Finding good Discord servers relevant to your interests can be tough unless you sift through Discord’s own database or get an invite to one.
The popular messaging and chat service is looking to solve that problem with an obvious yet big change to the platform. Discord will now make public servers discoverable through Google Search.
On Tuesday, Discord announced that starting Nov. 16, 2026, all Discoverable Servers will receive a Server Web Page. These public Server Web Pages will include summaries of discussions happening in that public server. In addition, starting in mid-December, some messages within these servers will be made publicly accessible on the Server Web Page. There will be no need for visitors to join the server or even have a Discord account in order to see these messages.
Yes.
For Servers: Server Settings -> Web Presence -> Discoverable Content on the Web has two settings, one for Channel Summaries and one for Channel Messages. Both allow you to select the affected channels or you can flick a toggle for the entire feature
For Users: Settings -> Data & Privacy -> Show my message content from Discoverable channels on web pages
Keep in mind tho that anyone can access all public channels of every discoverable server already anyway, with the change you just no longer need an account to do so, although the web page does only show message content and reactions, not the account that sent the message. To keep your server and its content private you should not have made it discoverable in the first place. And in case you want to change that as well: Server Settings -> Access -> How can people join your server?
