I accepted the invite, but am unable to see ANYTHING in Discord. Just a black screen with the Discord logo. No chats, no text strings, no nothing. Any suggestions as to why this may be happening?

Can you try using this invite link: [Class Central Cohorts](https://discord.gg/GnV6KxHZ)

Are you able to access other Discord?
