Recently it's seemed that a lot of developer communities are moving over to Discord from the myriad of dispersed platforms (like Github issues, Slack, or message boards like Spectrum). Discord has been a great way to connect with other developers across the world on the instanenous level only real-time chat can provide. There's nothing like having a problem, going to the #help chat, and getting 4+ insightful responses right away. It's also nice to have the option to spin up a voice or video chat with fellow devs and work out a problem together.

Here's a list of developer Discord communities that I've discovered and joined over time.

Anything that I missed?

Are you a member of any developer communities that I missed? Comment here or let me know on Twitter. Always looking to spread the spotlight and create more accessibility.

You can also check out the Programming and Technology tags on Discord.me, a directory site for Discord communities.
