Join the Locals Lounge Discord
Here’s a quick guide to help you get oriented to our online community hub. Discord is an online space where users can have conversations, post links, coordinate events, and lots more. If you’ve ever used Slack, you’ll find many aspects of Discord pretty familiar.
If you’re brand new to Discord, here’s a handy “How To” video that walks new users through some of the basics.
Getting started on our Discord Server:
1. Install the Discord app on your desktop and/or your phone:
