The problem I've found in the past with these kinds of big discord servers is that they're primarily used to advertise streamers or YouTube channels. Meaning they're full of inactive people that just post in streamer link chat channels when they go live and that's basically it. I was actually a mod for a big gamer discord server that ended up exactly like this, so the few of us that were active branched off and made another server with only the active people. Problem is life gets in the way and sadly eventually they drift apart as well. I would love another active cozy server though.

Hey- you can check out The Gamers’ Tavern if you wish. Here’s an invite link: https://discord.gg/xxReRYGF4r
Apart form the Discord, we’re pretty much only Fediverse based and host our own Mastodon and Peertube instances, among a few others :)
Sounds fun, thanks!
I hope you find this mythical place you speak of
It used to exist a long long time ago! It was the Club Penguin Rewritten Discord server! It was the most wholesome Discord Gaming server ever! But sadly that server was deleted shortly after Disney sent a cease and desist notice to the dev and made the UK Police arrest him when he didn't respond to that.
I'm a member of a Discord server like that. It's named Past Gen. This is the server's own introduction:
Welcome to Past Gen Gaming! We're a community of generally older, but mainly patient and relaxed gamers. There is no age requirement to join us, just the mindset. We won't tolerate elitism, toxicity, nor any form of hatred. A lot of us don't have a lot of free time, so when we do, we like it to be a good time. So sit back, relax, and let's play some games together.
Just let me know if you'd like an invitation link. If so, I would DM it to you instead of posting it publicly.
Can I get an invite to that server as well?
Done!
Thanks!
I would also appreciate a invite link, thanks for spreading the love.
Done!
Could I also get an invite? Thanks!
DM sent!
I'd very much appreciate an invitation, thank you.
DM sent!
Could I get an invite in DM, please?
DM sent!
Hey can I get an invite too?
DM sent!
Best I found was a Discord server called "dads gaming". Rather than whiny youngsters, you get middle aged med who have little time for gaming, so they play casually and are happy to play with others who are also mediocre. I haven't used this for ages though.
Sounds lovely!
A lot of people are interested in what you're asking for. You could try making a server.
I fit this description! Can I get an invite via DM, please?
I don't have invite permissions for the group I'm talking about and I found the channel on Reddit (back in the days when I used to be on there).
Having a look at Reddit now, there are still dad channels to be found: https://discord.gg/papasquad
Here's another one: https://discord.gg/h6PkhgPjRC
Happy for anyone interested to add me: https://discord.com/users/crazi_man
(UK timezone, very erratic and limited gaming hours)
Thank you!
Not a discord server, but we have a (moderately active) cozygames community on the Threadiverse:
I'm off course already a part of that 🤩
Video gaming or tabletop gaming?
For tabletop, I recently discovered "The Land of Eem" and it looks like the definition of "Cosy".
YouTube, Discord, it's all over the place. Described as "Lord of the Rings With Muppets".
Please let us know if you find one.
Beehaw’s probably your ticket
Can you elaborate? It's that the name of a server?
Beehaw is a Lemmy instance specifically oriented toward being cozy. Just suggesting a better resource for finding what you’re looking for
Understood, thanks!
