Are you struggling to get viewers on Twitch? It’s likely because you’re simply not networking properly!

Do you expect people to just come in to your stream naturally? Sadly, that’s not how it works.

If you really want to grow as a Twitch Streamer, you have to start networking!

The best places to start networking is by joining and engaging with active Twitch Communities.

Some Twitch Communities are in Facebook Groups while others are on Discord Servers, whichever platform you prefer, this article will lead you to the best communties for Twitch so you can finally start networking!

Best Discord Communities for Twitch Streamers

1. Small Streamer Community

Small Streamer community is dedicated to helping smaller streamers achieve their goals (such as path to affiliate!)

Here you can find other streamers to collaborate with, shout out your channel whenever you go live, share your builds and setups, discuss updates, and much more.

Aside from the dedicated text channel they also have 2 collab voice channels that you can pop in at any time to see if someone wants to play.

1. Small Streamer Community

  • 18,000+ members
  • Stream promotion allowed

2. Let’s Do This Streamers!

Let’s Do This Streamers is a popular discord channel and community for new Twitch streamers.

They have an active main chat (I was instantly welcomed by several members!) and different levels you can reach.

Some of their best hubs:

  • Looking For Player: a special hub where you can meet others to play video games with or plan to play together in the future
  • Advertisements: a stream promotions section where you can plug your channel whenever you go live
  • Link Your Twitch: You can link your Twitch to your discord so that your stream will show up in the left sidebar
  • and much more!

3. Twitch Streamers and Networking (TSAN)

This is the official discord group for the TSAN Facebook Group. It’s still pretty small with nearly 2000 members but it’s definitely worth checking out.

Here are some of their hubs:

  • Tech support: the place to be if you need help with anything related to streaming
  • Entertainment: share movies, memes, pics, and more
  • Twitch and Gaming: plug your stream, collaborate with others, and more

Best Subreddits For Twitch Streamers

1. R/Twitch

Of course, Twitch has its own subreddit which is probably one of the best places on the web to learn from other streamers.

This huge subreddit has over 1 million members and is active 24/7. Here you’ll find guides, advice, success stories, technical support, and much more.

This is a great place to ask questions and network your way to the top of Twitch.

R/Twitch

  • 1.2m+ members
  • Super Active 24/7

2. R/SmallStreamers

While r/Twitch is more for Twitch chat, advice, guides and stuff in general, r/smallstreamers is completely focussed on the smaller Twitch streamers out there and helping them in their journey to success.

This is a great place to find other small streamers to play and collaborate with and you can promote your stream on this subreddit!

2. R/SmallStreamers

  • 26,000+ members
  • Stream promotion allowed

3. R/StreamWatchParty

If you’re looking for an ultra-small Twitch community on Reddit, StreamWatchParty is the place to be. With nearly 2000 members they are still very small but that also means your post won’t get burried right away.

3. R/StreamWatchParty

  • 1700+ members
  • Stream promotion allowed

Best Facebook Group Communities For Twitch Streamers

Twitch communities can be found on Facebook as well, but they have been dying out lately since most streamers are on Discord and Discord servers are preferred for Twitch communities.

1. Twitch Streamers and Networking (TSAN)

TSAN is one of the biggest Twitch Streamer communities on Facebook that everyone can join!

If you’re looking for an active Twitch Community on Facebook, TSAN is the place to be.

TSAN stands for REAL networking between Twitch streamers, this means no F4F, L4L, and other bs methods that don’t do you or your channel any good anyway.

Some activities you can expect from the TSAN community:

  • Daily community raids
  • Buddy challenge groups: get paired with other streamers to network for a week
  • Twitch streaming advice, guides, tips, and more
  • Community giveaways in the form of gift cards and t-shirts
  • And much more!

  • 30+ daily posts

2. Twitch Networking

Twitch Networking is a huge Twitch community on Facebook with over a thousand daily posts.

This is a great place to meet like-minded Twitch streamers, learn from others’ stories and more!

If you’re looking for a huge lively community full of Twitch streamers, Twitch Networking is the place to be.

2. Twitch Networking

  • 76,000+ members
  • 200+ daily posts
  • Instant-join
  • Stream promotion allowed

3. Streaming World (F4F)

Streaming world is a huge community for streamers from Twitch and other platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.

This Twitch Community is big and contains quite a bit of link spam so if you don’t like that, don’t join.

This is a good place to do follow 4 follow on Twitch (however I don’t recommend this as it will get you nowhere) but other than that I would check out other channels (such as TSAN) on this list.

5. Streaming World (F4F)

  • 147k+ members
  • 1k+ daily posts
  • Follow 4 Follow
  • Stream promotion allowed

4. Twitch Growth 2022

The Do’s and Don’ts For Twitch Communities

DO

  • Read the rules before joining a community
  • Actively engage with others and their posts (people will love you)
  • Collaborate with other streamers (this is one of the best ways to grow on Twitch as a small streamer!)

DON’T

  • Don’t spam your Twitch link everywhere. Nobody likes a spammer and you definitely don’t want to be known as that kind of individual, it will only stunt your growth.
  • Don’t DM others without permission.
  • Don’t be judgemental, racist, sexist, the obvious.

What happened to Twitch Communities?

Twitch Communities was a built-in section on Twitch. Twitch removed in September of 2018 and replaced with tags.

Twitch believed the community section wasn’t helpful anymore as their userbase quickly grew in numbers. According to them, the community section had become confusing and their analytics showed that communities weren’t driving users to view streams.

Now it’s your turn

Hopefully you can find a Twitch Community that feels good for you among this list! I recommend you check out the discord groups, they always seem to be the closest communities and best places to network in general.

Also the TSAN is my favorite Twitch Community and definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for an active community! They have both a Facebook and Discord group.
