Discord Explained - Essential post promotion, discussion & private messages
My 2nd tutorial video has just been released to help you better understand Discord, another very important tool for the post promotion of your work and also for interacting with the ever-growing Steemit community there.
Unlike steemit.chat Discord includes the thumbnail photo when you paste in your link, and for this reason alone it provides much more efficient system.

However...
Discord is a little complicated to understand at first. So, this tutorial walks you through it step by step.
Why is Discord so important?
With the rise in popularity of steemit.chat, it is becoming harder and harder to get noticed amongst the busy feeds available there.
Especially in the postpromotion feed which moves at a serious speed now.
Discord is a recent addition to the growing number of Steemit associated tools and due to it's invitation only policy, is currently less busy than its main counterpart steemit.chat
So you are much more likely to get noticed here!
Be careful not to post your links in the feeds which are for discussion only.
You should be able to see which is which by scanning through the feed quickly before posting your link.
Here are the invitation links I mention in the film, which will open automatically in Disord once you have installed the app:
https://discord.gg/CB9hjvE (SteemLab)
https://discord.gg/mfGN7d (Whaleshares)
https://discordapp.com/invite/gh6bcja (SteemTrail)
https://discord.gg/mJBQtz (Steemshop)
https://discord.gg/JCJVUYb (Caturday)
And if you want to send me a friend request, here is my username ID: samstonehill#3438
Once you have installed the Discord app, all you have to do is click these links and your new servers will appear with lots of exciting new categories to post in. Some of them not present in steemit.chat
Hope you found this helpful.
Please let me know if you can think of anything I have missed out.
I will be doing a separate post on SteemTrail specifically as this one is a bit more complicated than the others because it requires you to have an Open Ledger account in order to collect your Trail Coins.
Please follow @steemtutorials for the next instalment...
Maybe it will be interesting for newbies and minnows: @minnowsupport also has a Discord channel (P.A.L.), where you can promote your posts. I don't know how to paste invitation link, but I think you can find info about them on @aggroed page.
Yeah, but i did not know you can promote your post there.
You just post your link into the right server. Connect to the servers from the list provided in this article.
This is a great initiative for new users of the community keep up the good work @samstonehill
pleasure :)
Great post @samstonehill ! Having joined steemit only 2 weeks ago and posted my first few articles I wish I had been given this advice much much sooner. Will set up my Discord as soon as possible and look forward to joining the community :)
