As an admin and community leader, helping onboard the newest members as best as possible is the difference between them being a quick visitor or a new long-lasting friend.
In the past, welcoming communities throughout Discord have implemented their own ways to verify their newer members. Sometimes they’ll add a popular moderation App from the App Directory, while others go as far as building their own App for their unique use-case.
When every community has their own method to verify, newcomers might be confused, or even overwhelmed and depart before saying hello. Even experienced Discord members may struggle as they try and figure out how a particular server handles their gating methods.
Enter Community Onboarding: Now, every Community Server can opt to use a simple survey that guides new members through your server's roles and channels. It’s easy to understand, inviting, and lets newcomers feel both welcomed and well-oriented to hit the ground running.
