How to Create a R6 Siege LFG Discord Server (Step-by-Step)

1. Create the server

In Discord, click the + (Add a Server) button at the bottom of the server list.
Choose Create My Own, then For a club or community.
Name it so people searching for R6 Siege find it — for example "R6 Siege LFG" plus your region or language — and upload an icon.
Open Server Settings → Enable Community. This unlocks Onboarding, a rules screen and announcement channels, which the next steps use.

2. Set up R6 Siege channels

Create a category for each group below. Voice channels get a user limit that matches a real R6 Siege party size, so lobbies don't overfill.

Start Here

#rules	Rules and post format: rank, playstyle, mic required.
#pick-your-roles	Choose rank and playstyle roles.

LFG

#ranked-stacks	Ranked five-stacks and partial stacks.
#quick-and-standard	Unranked and casual games.

Community

#strats

Site setups and attack strats.

Voice

Ranked Five	Five-player ranked stack. User limit: 5
Duo	Two-player duo. User limit: 2

3. Create rank and role roles

Create one role per R6 Siege rank tier (Server Settings → Roles). One role per tier is enough — per-division roles make the list too long to scan.

Playstyle roles

Let members pick their own roles in Server Settings → Onboarding: add one question per role group so new members choose when they join. Onboarding needs at least 7 default channels, 5 of which @everyone can post in — the layout above covers that once you add a general chat channel or two.

4. Permissions and moderation

Make #rules and #announcements read-only for @everyone (deny Send Messages).
Turn on slowmode (30–60 seconds) in LFG channels so posts don't get buried.
Open Server Settings → Safety Setup: set the verification level to at least Medium, and under AutoMod block spam, mention spam and harmful links.
Create a Moderator role with Manage Messages and Timeout Members, and give it to a few trusted regulars.

Siege matches are long and tense, so team-kill grudges and mic toxicity come up. Require mics in ranked posts, ban griefing call-outs in public channels, and route disputes to a private mod channel.

5. Add Matchmaker so your server isn't empty

The hardest part of a new LFG server is that nobody is online to play with yet. Matchmaker fixes that: it connects your server to one shared queue with R6 Siege players from every other server using the bot.

Add Matchmaker to your server — it's free.
Members run /joingame and pick Rainbow Six Siege, a mode and their rank. Supported modes: Ranked.
When a match forms, every player gets a ready-check DM to accept or decline.
Once everyone accepts, a private voice channel is created automatically for the lobby.

6. Grow your R6 Siege server

Ping the Hard Breach role when a stack is missing one — it's the most-needed playstyle.
Run strat nights where a stack learns one map together.
Pin site setups for the current ranked map pool and update them each season.
Give experienced IGLs a mentor role.

Which R6 Siege ranks does Matchmaker support?

Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond and Champion.

Should R6 Siege LFG posts require a mic?
