i was kicked out of joshua fluke's private discord for what i was i was and this is the video about
discords
this video is for you if you're trying to build a community during the pandemic if you want to
create a group for your study session your dnd campaign or perhaps a fan base or a email list
server of sorts for people who are following you because you provide educational or entertainment
content in the beginning i'm going to create an entirely new server from scratch and then
implement community standards so that you can build out a thriving place for people to talk to
each other and build from each other but i'm also going to then at the end of the video show off a
very well established discord the 66 days of data discord that kenji and i created and hopefully
show a little bit more about exactly how to build out the fine elements of a thriving community
i am getting kicked out of joshua fluke's private discord uh i am actually getting kicked out so
this is a message i just got it says you were warned in grind reel the grind reels the name of
joshua fluke another youtuber's space he says your custom status message is in violation of our rule
against self-promotion please make the necessary amendments to remedy this situation within one
hour when we revisit this issue and seek a more direct remedy oh god what what could i have done
to have deserved this well let's just look at my status data science and corgis with a bitly link
where does this bitly link even go oh it goes to my channel okay good at least it goes somewhere
by the end of this video you're gonna understand exactly why people create these
discord communities why i have one and why you should join and how exactly you should smash the
like button and subscribe button if you're new discord is a platform that allows you to create
channels basically little forums where you are able to talk to people like your fan base like
your subscribers it's how i'm able to create private discussions on patreon for my patrons
and how you can start building a platform just like an email newsletter except it works
so much smoother and it's a little bit easier to build in habits you want to be able to start
creating a relationship with your viewer so that people understand that you are going to be
you know pinging the community when you have a new deal like on a course that you're trying to
sell or a new upload on a special video that you want them to see the first thing you know about
discord is that you can help your performance of your videos in the first 30 seconds the first 30
seconds of how a video is uploaded on youtube and starts accruing views and impressions is
really important and getting a little boost to that number can be really helpful especially if
your normal subscriber has their bell turned off so they don't see notifications when you upload
and you don't have a regular upload schedule so if you don't want to get a regular upload
schedule and help your subscribers know when you're about to upload then having a ping on the
discord server can be really helpful here's how to create a discord server your brand new one for you
i'll show you step by step how to build a server the kind of ways that i built out my server and
exactly what you can learn from this video in just as short of time as it takes to brush your teeth
you don't brush your teeth for 10 minutes weirdo so first things first you have to build a server
so let's build an entirely new server you can make it about gaming friends study group or you know
you can do a completely custom one let's create my own we can create a upload a server and it's
going to be automatically named whatever your name is on discord and if you needed to install
discord i have it linked down below create that server and now you suddenly have your first server
that's great the first thing you should consider is creating a rule section or an faq an faq or
a rules channel will be automatically populated on your server depending on what kind of server
you've created for this one i created a custom so i don't have a rule server to start off with
but i could start to create a channel and then create a text channel called rules
okay this is the rules channel i'm going to copy and paste that message from my own rule server and
now i'm going to pin it so i'm going to click the three dots over here and then i'm going to
pin message oh yeah pin it pin it good so now that is going to be one of the best ways that i can now
keep track of what people should have their expectations be about the next thing you'll notice
is that you can drag this channel to a category of channels so we can put it underneath this category
and then we can edit the name let's call it if you're new here and then you'll notice that this
is going to be reflected right here or you can press the green button down below to save the
second thing you should do is to create that sense of bonding by creating an introductions channel
create a new channel by pressing this plus button underneath the category and
then calling it introductions start with yourself my name is andrew and i am a
cool cat i cannot spell and then you could start editing the channel description to
introduce yourselves when you're here save those changes and there you go you've gotten a pretty
darn good discord server setup the next step is to start an announcement channel this will allow you
to announce specific uploads of videos or raffles or sponsorships that you want to be able to tell
your newsletter about just be careful not to be too spammy because then you're going
to make it a bad feel to join your discord and see all of these spammy messages you'll notice
that when you try to create a channel that the announcement channel is not one of the options
and this is a pretty obfuscated part of creating a discord channel for your community so the first
thing you should do is to consider changing your server into a community-based server
first thing you do is go right click on the server then go to server settings and then
all the way down to community settings yeah and then it says are you ready to are you building
a community convert your server to a community server to access additional administrative tools
that can better help you moderate run and grow your server don't be afraid about the
fine text unless you want to really go ahead and understand exactly what the difference is between
a community versus a non-community server get started safety checks verified email required
scanned media content from all members next create one for me uh rules or guidelines channel see this
is the one that i've already created so that i can say that this is the rules channel here and then
it says community updates channel and now i don't have that one yet so you can create one for me
next all right one last step you're almost there here are some suggestions to help create a better
experience to your members default notifications to mentions only that sounds good because then
you'll be able to not bother everyone inside and then remove our moderation permissions from at
everyone great this is helpful because you don't want new people to come in and spam your discord
although that hasn't happened on mine yet i agree i understand and then we're done
you can always disable the community if for some reason you don't like the features inside but now
what we notice here is that we have our rules uh channel which has a little book on it now and we
have our moderator only channel up here what we can do now is create a channel create a channel
go to announcement and now we can call this new video uploads easy peasy once you get a
larger community you can start assigning roles to people like patreon specific perks to access
uh locked channels such as this one you can also assign moderator roles to people so that they can
help you create a better community by moderating what could happen you can also start creating
bots that can kick people out just like joshua fluke spot to give you a little more context i
haven't changed my status for the last couple of months and i've been part of joshua fluke's grind
reel discord for at least a couple months and it seems like he might have just implemented the bot
or maybe the bot just picked up that my status includes a link to my youtube channel because it
certainly seems like i'm about to get kicked out and uh you know it hasn't been an hour yet but
let's actually see how long it takes how much longer is there 355. in 25 minutes this dinobot is
about to revisit this issue and seek a more direct remedy well i'm not going to change my status i
don't think it uh hurts anybody especially since it's been there for months it's just a once again
data science and corgis with a bitly link to my youtube channel in fact i don't really communicate
with anybody on the grind reel you can notice that there's 40 notifications here uh that's my bad
but at the same time it's not a big loss of me to get kicked out of the server so good on you
joshua this is not to start beef with you but i'm not going to change myself i'm perfect just the
way i am so like i promised here is the end of the video and the 66 days of data discord is something
that i want to show off you notice that there are similar things in the categories such as important
about rules announcements introductions general we imagine that this probably spreads thin the amount
of attention span people can have from topic to topic i mean it looks like there's new threads
popping up every single day tips to success video sharing events it's a lot but the most important
part is that you allow your community to have as many avenues as possible to talk through their
questions or their answers or their supporting of each other if you can start creating habits
like ways to have your community talk to each other or specific trivia questions of the day or
ways to give merit badges or specific flair or roles to people who give a lot of participation
to your community then you can suddenly start having a much more thriving community than
a couple of the other ones that are just a little bit more dead and a little bit more about
more or less just showing off a email list serve there's nothing wrong if your discord ends up
being an email listserv but it provides a little more value if naturally the people on the discord
want to talk to each other hope you enjoyed that video today's trivia question is going to be
uh how do you interpret the coefficients of a logistic regression model leave your answer
down below i'm going to collect a couple of the right answers and then select a person that will
