What The Heck is Discord ?

Discord is a community based chatting app that allows you to directly connect with other people within your niche. Although Discord was initially built for gamers, it grew and people from all walks of life started using it to empower their connectivity.

One of those communities is obviously the developer’s communities. I say communities , plural, because there are multiple sub-communities. One might focus on web development while another might focus on game development.

Here Are My Top 10 Discord Servers To Join As a Developer

3. The Coding Den - Another active community with over 5000 active users. Similar to the other servers, this one also provides technology/language specific channels.
