+
+
+This year, one of our highest priorities has been to create a central hub for the MUI community.
+Up until now, our community has been scattered across discussions and interactions on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MUI_hq), [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/mui), [GitHub](https://github.com/mui), and [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/material-ui).
+
+That's why we've officially launched our [Discord Server](https://mui.com/r/discord/)โand we'd love for you to be a part of our community!
+
+Come join to engage in lively discussions, share your projects, and interact with the MUI team as well as developers just like you from all around the world.
+
+## Why you should join our Discord Server?
+
+There are a plethora of reasons why you should join, but here are the three biggest benefits:
+
+1. **Real-time communication with our community**:
+ As mentioned above, our communication with the community has often been slow and _scattered_ across too many different platforms.
+ Developers are frequently unsure whether to open an issue on Github, tweet at us, or send us an email when they have a question or want to share feedback.
+
+ _Discord provides real-time chat capabilities_, allowing you to communicate and collaborate with us and other developers, instantly.
+
+ What's a better way to get a real-time response from the MUI team and other users?!
+
+2. **Community building**:
+ Discord is a great place for us to get together and chat!
+ For so long, there wasn't a way for us to get together.
+ We have big plans to set up events such as hack-a-thons, monthly office hours with our Developer Advocates, speaking events with MUI founders, and the list goes on.
+
+3. **Networking and collaboration opportunities**:
+ We want this to be a safe place where you can join, have fun, and meet new people.
+ Someone is out there using this same tool as you.
+ We created two awesome channels to help you find work opportunities (and we can always create moreโjust let us know what you need)!
+ 1. ๐จ โ Show-Off
+ - Show off your MUI projects! Get wild. Ask questions.
+ Or use this channel simply to boast. ๐
+ 2. ๐ โ Freelance
+ - Looking for some help on completing your vision?
+ Use this channel to find work or market yourself for work.
+ There are thousands of developers, designers, and teams using MUI.
+ You're bound to find someone to help you complete your project.
+
+## Chat with you soon
+
+Overall, we're super excited to have you join our community.
+Come show off your projects, introduce yourself in the **"๐ | new-members"** channel, or just ask general questions in the forums.
+
+As always, we would love to hear from you.
+
+**See you on our [Discord Server](https://mui.com/r/discord/)!**
