Introduction

What Discapedia is, and the principles it's built on.

Discapedia is a directory of Discord communities — a place to discover servers worth your time, and for owners to get discovered. It pairs DISBOARD-style free, manual bumping with real design, fast search, AI-first moderation, and an honest ad network.

Principles

These aren't marketing lines — they're enforced in code:

Bumping is manual and free. Every server can bump to the top of its category every 2 hours, via Discord only. No automation, no paying to skip the cooldown.
Sponsored is always labeled. Ads exist and are clearly marked. They never silently outrank organic results.
NSFW is gated. Adult communities must mark themselves 18+ and only appear in opt-in inventory.
Moderation is explainable. Every AI decision is logged with its evidence and is appealable.

What's in these docs

Getting started — list your first server.
Using Discapedia — bumping, reviews, and the bot.
Trust & Safety — how moderation and reporting work.
Advertising — campaigns, targeting, and billing.
Developers — the REST API, the SDK, and the MCP server.
Legal — Terms of Service and Privacy.
