How to Hide a Discord Server without Leaving It

Here is how to hide Discord servers without leaving them:

2. Identify the servers you don’t want anymore but don’t want to leave.

3. Tap on the icon of the server and drag it over any other icon on your sidebar, this would automatically create a folder.

4. Now just drag all the servers you might not be needed for a long time into that folder you have just created and that is it!

The above steps are the only way you can hide a Discord server you do not want to leave on mobile or PC.

You can even decide to turn off their notifications too if you do not want to be receiving updates from the servers you have hidden.

Although there are a few browser extensions like this one for Google Chrome and this one; that can minimize Discord servers that are not in use into a small left sidebar, however, they do not completely hide the servers.
