How to pin a message or channel in Discord

Marketers use many tactics to attract users to their servers and boost engagement. One way to ensure that important and popular messages get noticed is to pin them. With pinned messages, information stands out amidst the clutter.

A pinned message is convenient. It lets users quickly locate important information such as channel rules. It is also a way to highlight messages that have gained traction.

On Discord servers, channels are places where users interact through voice, text, or video. A pinned channel stays visible. It helps users because they do not have to scroll to reach it.
