On Discord, fans talk about your new single and then leave to go listen to it somewhere else. On Melodon, they hear it, post about it in your community and share it with friends in chat — in the same app.
A good Discord server takes work: channels, roles, permissions, bots and moderators. On Melodon, your community exists the moment your artist account does. You can pin posts and moderate with your team, and Melodon's reporting and review process backs you up.
Discord is built for real-time chat, which is great live and hard to follow later. Melodon communities are a feed of posts, polls and threaded comments, so a good discussion is still there tomorrow. For real-time talk, fans have DMs and group chats.
A Discord server only grows through invite links. On Melodon, listeners discover your community through your songs, your profile and Discover.
