Broken Discord link for Arduino server

Hello,
I am trying to join Arduino's discord.
I get this error:

Is there a fixed link?
Thanks.

Hi @v205. I just tried opening that page in Safari and it worked fine. So there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the URL.

Please try again in case it was only a transient problem that has now resolved.

Oops, sorry.
Click the accept invite button. It does not work…

OK, I can reproduce it now. I found that this is caused by not having the Discord app installed on your computer. The link is meant to open the Discord app when you click, on it in the Safari browser. You can download the Discord app here:

Alternatively you can use a different web browser. With other browsers it is possible to use Discord even without installing the app (apparently it was not possible for them to implement an in browser version of Discord that works with Safari). I have verified it works fine in both Chrome and Firefox browsers.

Strange.
I actually regularly use hackster.io’s discord in Safari.
Oh well……
I’ll see later….

I see now the limitation is specific to the invite system. Arduino's server is public so you can join it directly without an invite. I verified this approach works using Safari.

Try this:

  1. Click the link below to load the list of servers for a search of the arduino keyword in your browser:
    https://discord.com/guild-discovery?query=arduino&offset=0&limit=12&preferredLocale=en-US&categoryId=-1
  2. You should see a server named "Arduino" with description: "Official Arduino Discord - Discuss all things Arduino!" in the search results. Click on that server.
  3. You should now see a banner at the top of the page that has a button "Join Arduino". Click on that button.
  4. Complete the joining flow.

Works, thank you!

You are welcome. I'm glad you are in now, and without having to install an app either.
