Seems like a lot of folks forget this is a SOCIAL platform... and social means interaction.
I must confess I haven't done much in terms of joining Discord communities; I have relied almost purely on picking up interesting connections through commenting on other people's posts.
I've also made a good number of friends by being part of @abh12345's Curation and Engagement Leagues... I think it works as a "free stand" because there's a lot of camaraderie between league participants.
But anyway, some good community recommendations here!
Yes, the social element does often get lost. Then people wonder why they aren't making more money after so many great posts.
I like the engagement league camraderie too, as well as Asher himself. I must admit I haven't found the time to connect with that one as much as I would like. But a great thing about it is that unlike some of the more interactive of the discord servers I shared, the engagement leagues are for people who write on any topic.
I was a bit annoyed when I first joined steemit to find out that you have to use another platform to engage with everyone. After my stubbornness wore off and I gave discord a try it was one of the best decisions I have made. It is truly the easiest way to find different communities to be a part of and build relationships with other steemians.
Another community that I would like to shoutout is the @helpie community. As the name implies they are focused on helping fellow steemians grow on the platform. They are awesome!
I had the same initial reaction. I hate chat servers generally, but accepted that I simply had to use them to make the most of this opportunity.
I've only just started hearing about @helpie this past week, but now this is my 3rd time hearing of them. Will definitely take a closer look tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
I was annoyed too with having to use alternative platforms to discuss stuff but once I found my groove in a few of the servers and found the ever wonderful team australia and PAL. I have never gone back.
@asapers discord link if you need it. We love the new and the old and share our limited upvotes with our followers. Thanks for the shout out @tcpolymath.
You definitely left nothing out @indigooccean, hehehehe!!! This post was to long but full of important information that can help our success here on steemit.
Am still struggling to use discord channel because it seems like it is diverting my attention from steemit, but seeing the positive things you have said about them, I am encouraged to keep trying them.
Just pick only 1 or 2 to focus on when it comes to anything more than applying for an upvote. There are too many good ones to do them all. The priority really does need to be steemit.
Thank you for mentioning us! For clarification we have disabled the explainer channel temporary for changes.
The way you can get an upvote: is by getting scouted by us, or by joining workshops. We are giving out free workshops on how to improve your writing and blog lay out etc. This is how it currently works.
For any questions you can always contact me on discord. :)
This is a great compilation of these communities! I have been trying Discord for the first ever and while I still have trouble finding my way through the application and its many servers and even rooms in them, I have found some good ones for projects I have been researching and participating in like @actifit, @qurator, @steem-ua and many others. It is great to see how many users really foster the use of these servers to support each other in everything from providing guidance and feedback to be relevant in Steemit. I look forward to checking sone of these out and seeing where this journey continues to take me!
It can be overwhelming at first. I really don't like chat servers. They don't flow the way my mind does. But in the end I realized that I would do far better on here if I accepted that this is simply where the socializing is going on. There really are just a couple that I still regularly interact with though.
Thank you for this very clear and comprehensive post. Youve expanded my steemit horizons and the terrain is less intimidating. I'm still a bit clumsy navigating around Discord but everyone in the communities has been helpful.
Thanks @indigoocean your research for these channels really going to make difference. This can help beginner like me and others to grow more faster on this platform once again thanks
Just join the ones that are a match for you and your interests. There is no way anyone can keep up with all this, so if you try to you'll be neglecting really getting traction in the one or two that are right for you. You need to grow real relationships, not just go through the motions of doing so.

I've never heard of helpie, but it sounds pretty cool...
Haha, indeed @helpie is very helpful!
LOL

Minnowbooster and PAL aren't the same. PAL is @minnowsupport. People get them confused a lot.
@dropahead curates undervalued posts in their Discord.
Two communities that specifically target new users, @pifc and @asapers have Discords.
Thanks for the clarification! Just updated the post.
I had been in dropahead's server for a while, but never figured out how to get myself registered.
Thanks so much for all the tips for folks to look into!
