Nitro boosting allows users with Nitro to "boost" Discord servers. This allows the server to have perks and gives the user a badge.
There is now a support article: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028038352
Note: It is currently in progress and is subject to change (or even removal). This feature is currently live on select guilds (random 3% of guilds).
As many of these features are implemented on mobile, it is very likely that this feature is here to stay and the only thing that may change are the perks and values (like the number of boosts required).
There are actually 4 levels of profile badges:
Level 1:
Level 2:
Level 3:
Level 4:
It also gives the date of when they first boosted:
You can also see the badge next to the server name, for example Tier 2's:
You can also see your badge in the member list:
When someone boosts, it sends a message in chat similar to join messages:
The perks are for everyone on the server, not just for users with Nitro. This allows everyone (only on that server) to have things like higher upload limits. There are also some (currently) exclusive features like animated server icons. The partner bitrate is (apparently) 128kb/s, meaning Tier 2+ is actually better.
You can setup a role that is given to users who have boosted the server.
Users with Nitro (not Nitro Classic), staff and partners can boost servers.
There are some servers that have a the boosting feature enabled allowing you to boost it from the Nitro page.
New features:
- ANIMATED_ICON
- BANNER
What are the known servers that have these features enabled at the moment?
