How to create a welcome Message for new Discord Server Members?

Discord has a setting that sends a welcome message to a channel when someone new joins your server. It also lets you decide if members can click an option to reply to those messages with a sticker to say hi. You can change where the message goes (in the Overview section of Server Settings), but you can't control what this message says, so you might want to turn it off and create your own. 

If you manually invite someone to your server, Discord sends them straight to the channel you clicked the Create Invite button next to. When someone joins through a general invite link or by finding your server in the public directory, they'll land in the channel at the top of your list. 

Consider making this default channel your welcome channel to greet newcomers. This channel would offer space for current members to say hi or for you to introduce your server. 

Community servers also have welcome screens with a message, channel recommendations, and rules that new members see on entry. But as you should know that  Discord welcome screen example message has a 140-character limit. So it might make the most sense to use both the welcome screen and a channel with more details.
