## Tips for using Discord effectively

### How to join a server

If you are less familiar with Discord, you might want to check out this [guide](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034842871-How-do-I-join-a-Server#h_01FSJF9GT2QJMS2PRAW36WNBS8) on how to join a server.

Here's a quick summary of the steps:

1. Click on the [Invite Link](https://discord.gg/UrrTSsSyjb).
2. Sign in with your Discord account, or create an account if you don't have one.
3. Validate that you are not an AI agent!
4. Setup your nickname and avatar.
5. Click "Join Server".

### How to use Discord effectively

Here are a few tips for using Discord effectively:

- **Voice channels** are available, though text chat is more commonly used.
- You can format text using **markdown style**, which is especially useful for writing code. Note that markdown doesn't work as well for links.
- Consider opening threads for **long conversations** to keep discussions organized.
