Discord is rolling out tools letting admins control whether their 'Discoverable' servers (those with over 1,000 members, open to join without invite) get indexed by search engines. Starting November 16, these servers will get public web description pages by default, and from mid-December, question-and-answer exchanges in designated channels will also appear in search results, with usernames and avatars hidden. Admins and users can opt out via new settings.

Discord announced that starting November 16, its Discoverable Servers will get public Server Web Pages showing descriptions and channel summaries, and by mid-December individual messages from public channels could appear verbatim in search engine results. Usernames and avatars won't be shown, and the change applies only to large, invite-free public servers, not private servers or DMs. Users and admins can opt out, and the feature defaults to off in the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Korea, as well as for teen accounts.
