Hey folks, Will here. As you may have noticed, we now have a private Discord server available to everyone contributing $5 or more per month. If you'd like to hang out with fellow DF patrons and talk with the DF team, this is the place to be. 

To access the server, visit the Digital Foundry Patreon page and click on the My membership tab. From here, you should see a purple button that says 'Connect to Discord'. Click it, follow the instructions to sign into your Discord account and you'll automatically be logged into the server.

If you don't have a Discord account, you can create one for free. There are Discount client apps for desktop and mobile, but you can also access Discord on the web if you prefer. If you've not used Discord before, it's a bit like a combination of old-school IRC text chat channels with Teamspeak voice chat channels, where you can choose to partake in discussions on various topics of interest - DF videos, retro gaming, next-gen consoles, cute pet pictures and so on.

If you have any issues getting connected, please get in touch and we'll try to offer bespoke, full-fat help to get you sorted. You can reach me on Twitter (@wsjudd) or on Discord where I'm VelocityWill#0603.

Thanks for reading and supporting Digital Foundry!

Is it just me or is the Connect to Discord button missing?

Same. I'm not too worried about not having access to the DIscord server (the HQ videos alone are awesome), but just fyi to DF that I don't see the purple button either. Edit: Actually, if you go to https://www.patreon.com/settings/apps and connect to Discord there, you'll be added to the DF Discord server when you open the app!

I see the tab that says discord access or something to that effect. However I also fail to see the "connect" prompt anywhere. I just finally remembered to get on discord and am excited to get the full fat df experience.

Hmm, we've had a few similar comments recently so perhaps Discord or Patreon has changed something to make it not work, or work differently? Try disconnecting and reconnecting from the "My Membership" tab of the Digital Foundry Patreon page, if you have the option. As jenesuispasbavard suggests, you could also try going to https://www.patreon.com/settings/apps and connect to Discord there!

Still not working for me. Had a payment issue when joining. Was connected to Discord. As payment was updated next day DF vanished from my Discord. Disconnected, reconnected. Uninstalled, reinstalled. My Patreon shows as connected, but doesn't show on Discord.
