Two kinds of free template here: one-click Discord template links that create a new server with the channels, topics, roles and permissions already set up, and full layout blueprints written out on the page (channels, role order, who sees what, onboarding, bots and a checklist) for when you want to build it yourself or add it to a server you already have.

Discord template links copy a server's categories, channels, topics, roles and permissions into a new server. That's the fastest way to start fresh, but you still have to add bots, write posts, set up verification and recreate community channel types afterwards. If you make your own template, keep channel permission overrides under 1,000 or Discord won't generate it.
Which one should I use?
- Gaming blueprint if your members come to play together: squads, LFG, tournaments, several games.
- Streamer blueprint if your members come to watch one person or channel and you want live alerts and a supporter area.
- Launching a token or project? Use the crypto template above: announcements and official links are read-only so nobody can fake them.
- Neither fits? Start from the starter layout, which works for almost any small community.
