Best community tech Discord servers to join

Joining a Discord server can be a lot of fun. Engaging in the tech community is super valuable, and Discord has become a place for many tech groups from all over the world to gather. You can find likeminded people, get answers to your questions, and connect with other developers who build awesome products. Many Discord servers encourage their community members to post questions and issues regarding their product or service, so you can get help directly from either the community or those building the service. It can feel a little overwhelming when getting started as a user, so I've put together my top ten cool servers you can join. Microsoft Needing no introduction, the Microsoft Discord is a place for community members to come together and geek out about Microsoft.

Discord It's so meta, but there's a Discord server for Discord. This one is specifically for developers.
