=== How do I join? ===
First of all you will need to download and sign up to Discord, this is free. You will need a valid e-mail address and a phone number, the latter which is used for validation in certain circumstances. This is a security feature for Discord and not part of the Community Garden Radio validation. Secondly, you need to be a [https://www.patreon.com/shaunkeaveny/ Patreon subscriber]. While Discord and the server is free to join, it is highly encouraged that the users are subscribers of the Garden's Patreon.

=== Phew. I'm here! What now? ===
[[File:Discord2.png|thumb|The Discord verification box]]
Welcome! You just need to complete a few steps before you can join in, but they won't take long. On arrival to the server, you are greeted with a small box which gives you an idea of what to do. However, before you can start chatting, you will need to complete a few more steps. After clicking on the welcome message box, you will see a small box at the bottom of the server asking you to complete a few more steps, along with a purple "complete" button. Click this button, and a verification box will pop up (see on the right).
 
==== Verifying your email ====
If you have not already done so, click the purple "Verify" button to confirm your email address is real. This is a one-time verification and will not need to be repeated. If your email address has yet to be verified, you will see a "resend email" button instead.
 
==== Reading and agreeing to the server rules ====
After verifying your email, you will need to read the rules of the server (which are also posted below in this article). Once you have scrolled and read the rules, tick the check box to agree to the rules. Please note, this means you agree to the rules and if you disagree with any of the rules, you will not be able to join the Discord server. Once you have agreed to the rules, you are free to chat in the server!
