Popular messaging app Discord is reportedly set to launch in-app ads to help promote game developers, and its coming soon.

In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.

Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.

A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

    For app developers discussing their app? Use GitHub. Or traditional forum software. Or even create a subreddit/Lemmy community.

    Discord is great for informal chats about various topics. Anything that might have value being searchable and discoverable weeks or months later should be somewhere on the public web.
