Previewing servers

  • Edited

Hello I really love the "view" feature for servers in the server discovery section so I can look at servers without joining them.

I would like a feature like this for all servers, example someone invites you to their server but you're not sure if you want to join, there are 3 options. "Accept" to join the server, "View" or "Preview" to see the server without joining it and "Cancel" to stop.

Maybe this could be a feature server owners can choose to turn on or off, maybe it could be nitro boost feature although i'd like to be able to do it with any servers.

This would be useful for public community servers if someone wants to take a look inside without joining or see if they like the server first.

Feel free to discuss below and if you think this is a good idea please leave an up vote, thanks! :D

    Well, I have a problem with this feature. I try to just join a server but I'm stuck in preview mode. I've let it 'join' for 15 mins and it didn't.

    A preview would be really helpful. At the moment, the only way to do this is opening the invite link in a private tab or something and creating a temporary account. To do this on a phone, you even have to use the desktop mode which is a chore to operate on such a small screen. And after looking at a server, you just let the temp account die, confusing other members of the server. This is not very user-friendly.

    I am having a problem with preview and I can't join the server or leave but have myself get kicked by the owner, and then once I get my roles back it goes back into preview mode and it's really annoying.

    This feature is really necessary.

    When sharing a server, or a specific message, the web interface of discord should show the server or message, and the "add message" text field at the bottom should be replaced by a Join Server button.

    This is what every other chat app is doing.
    Example: Matrix chat (Riot)

    Sometimes you want to share a message form a public server, and you want others to see it without having to sign in or sign up.

    It also opens the possibility to do message previews when social sharing a link to a specific message to telegram, whatsapp, twitter, or wahtever.

    I request Discord to enable "Public server previewing." Current situation is that if I click on any Public server, it shows up on my side bar, and if I want to exit from it, then I receive a warning that I cannot join it again until I am re-invited there. This is not good.

    I think this would be a very useful thing to add to the community features.
