• Create categories and voice rooms with user limits
• Add #lfg and #clips-and-highlights forum tags

Safety

• Verification level: Medium or higher for public servers
• AutoMod rules + #mod-log
• Invite an anti-raid bot and test its lockdown command
• Require 2FA for moderation actions

Engagement

• Set up leveling with a cooldown and role rewards
• Schedule the first community night as a Scheduled Event
• Pin the LFG post format

Launch

• Set #AFK as the AFK channel
• Test onboarding with an alt account
• Create a permanent invite for your stream, YouTube or game page
