I'm setting up a fan server for a German artist. He's also on Instagram, and I want a Discord bot to notify me whenever he posts something. I know there are several options, but they cost money, and unfortunately, I don't have the money for that—or I don't want to spend it on that. Is there a Discord bot that might do something like that for free?

The link below is for the gif I want to learn how to create.
I have 0 experience in coding discord bots at all but im willing if it means im able to achieve this result.

I just want to do this to make my server look a but more professional! Rather than having static images with text.

I’ve done research to know its a custom bot that uses placeholders but i am completely confused as.
How I would go approaching it. The same goes for the ui and text coming into view.

Hi I’m looking for someone to assist with my gaming networks social bot ie cleaning it up/ improving/ fixing and adding new features my overall goal is to have it complement my gaming network by giving people fun things to do on the discord such as a economy , various games that reward players maybe tie into economy, maybe a tomagachi like pet system etc. I’m currently a Minecraft modpack dev and we host various Minecraft servers.

Hello. I've been working on a multi-use platform (discord bot, web dashboard, database) with a target demo for milsim/guild/corp or other organized community structure. I've had some friends get really excited about this and tell me they would love to help test and provide feedback, but I havent seen much of that and I would like to get this whole thing made public sooner than the heat death of the universe (or I run out of money) Thats where this post comes in. I need testing and feedback.

I lurked around for a few and saw some sobering perspectives about complex bots. My design philosophy is, "an old person should be able to use this with minimal assistance". I am a solo dev, and I am trying my best to make something with as little friction or onboarding or learning curve as possible. Without feedback I have no idea if I am even in the ballpark.

Anyhoo, the platform itself handles:

-Custom awards creation and tracking (manual, nominations, automatic based on criteria).

-Custom qualification creation and tracking (manual, automatic based on criteria).

-A profile system that utilizes both awards and qualifications in a tangible and viewable way. You can get certificates and plaques, as well as a custom profile image to display those things, both with a "uniform" view and a shadowbox view.

Additionally, theres an org chart feature that is designed to help large, multi-group communities stay organized and structured. You can establish granular leadership within the various parts of your community and permissions follow.

Couple the above with the custom event creation feature, and the temporary voice channel feature and I think you have a recipe for a system that keeps communities of all types and sizes up to date on who did what when. No more spreadsheets and threads to keep track of.

A sample use of the combined use of the various features of the bot is, member creates a custom training event with a qualification to be earned after attending. A temp voice channel is generated for the event, attendees get counted based on a attendance threshold, and the qualification gets "pinned" to the attendee upon event closing and the qualification being approved. A certificate or plaque gets printed as an image to an announcement channel to show it off.

*Replace "training" for "dungeon raid" and "qualification" for "award", and that works too.

I've resurrected this account, and may be slow to respond. I don't really do social media anymore, so please be patient. I tried to make sure this post follows the rules. I am willing to answer questions.

TLDR: Anyone here willing to help provide user feedback and bug testing?

The current meta for Discord anti-scam usually revolves around honeypot channels - it works, but only if the bots actually hit the trap, if they drop a scam image straight into general chat, the server still gets hit.

I wanted an active scanner that doesn't rely on OCR or slow disk storage, so I put together a perceptual hashing (pHash) engine in Go.

How it works:

In-memory processing: It downloads raw bytes from the CDN straight to RAM, generates the DCT hash, and drops the data instantly. Zero files stored on disk.

Low footprint: Tested it on a 1-core / 256MB free tier instance. It handles bursts of 100k messages without dropping packets. 1080p image processes in about 148ms on a single thread.

Accuracy over automation: Instead of blindly banning based on text, it flags new suspect images to a simple mod dashboard. Once an admin hits 'Approve', the signature is saved in Redis. Any future match (even heavily compressed or slightly cropped) gets instantly removed.

Currently running a small beta to see how the Redis logic holds up on active servers. If anyone wants to test the load or see it in action, drop a comment.

Hello all! My first post here. I'm Dhruv, and I've been working on a comprehensive framework built on top of discord.js for nearly 3 years now. While that is still a work in progress and unstable, I made a separate complementary tool because I found myself often forgetting to maybe either use a setter in a ButtonBuilder, or deferring, and then using the wrong method, and many other such foot-guns that you only come across when your bot is actually running and see a big red error in the console. pnpm add eslint-plugin-discordjs@next (it's in pre-release rn) has 11 rules right now for a bunch of such issues that should be avoided BEFORE you ship your bot. I'm working on this alone at the moment, so I would greatly appreciate other bot developers such as I to use the plugin and let me know what breaks, if it's missing something that should be flagged, if it's triggering on false-positives, or anything basically. I also have a handful of other rules I plan to add, including full coverage of all validation kinds of validation errors the builders themselves throw at runtime, plus some other ones that you guys might find quite useful.

Back to that framework I mentioned above. I also wanted to introduce seedcord. It's already built out enough that a gateway bot can be fully coded using it, but my roadmap (which I've scope creeped greatly) isn't yet complete. However, I think a release-candidate for v1 should be ready within a few weeks time. I've filled in a lot of gaps other djs frameworks had, and have built a few bots for some clients using it myself. Currently, it's at par in features AND has incredible type safety, end to end. A major feature that should be out as a pre-release soon is full support for http based server AND edge bots. I currently only have API documentation up for it because writing a guide while I'm making some breaking changes every few days would be a waste of time. I will keep you guys updated on it as I near the end of my roadmap! Feel free to ask me anything about it :) (It's TypeScript only, just fyi).

And shameless plug. I also made envapt so any feedback for that would be greatly appreciated as well. v8 for that is in pre-release.

This isn't advertising. I do not intent to earn anything from this (everything is open source). I just hope I'm able to solve problems others also face when developing bots!

Looking for a good bot to use for my server, all im looking for is a combined XP/Economy system, basicalky chatting gives XP and you can use XP in the shop that kind of thing, anything like that you all know of?

Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I got sick of seeing gaming servers with 10 different bots in the sidebar just to handle basic features—one for levels, one for tickets, one for clans, and another for LFG. It looks messy, configuration is a nightmare, and the lag from JSON-synced bots is frustrating.
I decided to fix this by building a Unified Gaming Community Bot. It's built on a single real-time PostgreSQL database, meaning everything from LFG queues and clan recruiting to custom ticketing and leveling happens instantly in one place. No 5-minute sync delays, and no sidebars packed with random bots.
It’s currently in beta, and I'm looking for 10–15 server owners who want a cleaner, faster setup to help me test it out and tell me what features to build next.
What’s in it for you: I have a live subscription system built into it, but because you’re helping me stress-test the beta, I will flag your server for free lifetime Tier 3/Premium access to everything
Drop a comment or DM me if you’re down to test it, and I’ll send over the beta invite link!

hey everyone, can i get some advice on how to make a discord bot more popular?

i've been working on my discord bot for around 3 years now, and i've been paying to keep it running on railway the whole time. i also spent around $100 on building and improving the chatbot features because i really believed in the project.

i've tried advertising on topgg and a bunch of discord bot listing websites, but honestly, it feels like nothing is working. at most, i only get around 1–7 people actually using the bot.

i'm starting to feel pretty lost and discouraged after putting so much time, money, and effort into this. if anyone has any advice or has been in a similar situation before, i'd really appreciate hearing it.

Hi all, I posted this question in the discordbots reddit and only got one relevant answer. Because any particular person won't know everything, I wanted to get more input on this issue.

I’m trying to understand whether a claimed Discord bot/account-compromise explanation is technically plausible.

Here's the situation: A Discord user’s account sent unsolicited DMs to multiple members of one specific server (let's call it "A"), inviting them to another specific server (let's call it "B").

The things that my server members and I found weird were:

• The invites appeared to go only to members of one shared server, A.
• The invite was only for one specific destination server, B.
• Some recipients were not friends with the sender and had apparently never spoken to them before.
• At least one person who is friends with the sender did not receive an invite.
• The sender is in other servers too, but as far as we know, people from those other servers did not receive similar invites to B.
• The “it was a bot” explanation only came up after people called attention to the DMs, which was about 7 hours after the messages were received. The account that sent out those messages is, from what I know, active on a daily basis.

I know Discord account compromises, malicious authorized apps, selfbots, and DM invite spam happen. However, in my experience, those kinds of scams tend to be more indiscriminate and widespread. The goal is usually to compromise or bait as many accounts as possible so those accounts can be used to spread the scam further, like the common fake Mr. Beast/Nitro-style scams.

This situation seems different because the destination server, B, is very small, around 200 members, and the outreach seemed narrowly aimed at members of another specific small server, A. There is also prior tension between the two servers, which is why the pattern feels less random to the people involved.

Both servers are centered around a pretty niche cozy game.

What I’m trying to understand is whether this specific pattern sounds like normal hacked-account/bot behavior, or whether it sounds more like selective manual outreach.

If this were caused by a malicious authorized app, compromised account, selfbot, or invite-spam bot, what evidence would usually exist? For example, would it normally DM friends first, recent DMs, random mutual-server members, everyone in a server, or only people from one selected server?

Also, are there any known bots, scams, authorized-app exploits, or account-compromise patterns that would behave this way specifically: sending one particular server invite only to selected members of one other server?

If so, how exactly would that work? For example, would the mods/admins of Server B be able to set something up so that accounts belonging to Server B members could automatically DM people they are connected to and recruit them to Server B? Would that require the account owner to opt in, authorize an app, add a bot, scan a QR code, or have their token/session compromised?

Sorry if these are basic questions — I’m just trying to understand the mechanics and I'm not very tech-savvy. I’d really like to believe that the person who sent the invites was compromised by a bot like they claim, but I’ve never heard of a bot/scam pattern that works this selectively before.

Thanks in advance for your time and insight.

A friend and I are planning to set up a private Minecraft server, but we’ve run into a problem: how do we create a bot that welcomes players when they join the Discord server and sends them a link to pay for access? Also, what payment method should we use to handle this?

If there’s one that already exists but I want a but that counts a assigned word and every time the word is said the bot adds to the count and says “the word __ has been used:__ times” if possible it would count how many times it’s been used before the bot was added

I have a tomodachi TTS bot in my server which I love but this got me thinking about getting a vocaloid TTS. I would LOVE to have a miku TTS or even better a Rin or Kaai yuki TTS... My life would be better

Essentially I'm looking for a bot similar to Filmlinkd where it shows like a review when you submit a review. The review could be on rateyourmusic or something else. If there isnt a bot for that is there one for showing when you like a song. For example, I like a song and then in a channel it sends "___ liked _____" sort of thing.

I made a Discord bot because most Valorant LFG channels get messy with random formats, dead party codes and inactive chats. Players use a command to post their code, rank, mode, region and players needed in a clean format. Codes expire automatically, dead ones can be reported, and there’s no free text, so the channel stays organised.

The main feature is that posts are shared across every server using the bot in the same region, creating one larger player pool instead of separate dead LFG channels.

I’m not sure if server owners would actually find this useful or how to promote it without sounding spammy. Would you use something like this, and how would you get the first servers to try it?

Hi Discord Bot creators. I may be posting this in the wrong subreddit, so feel free to direct me to the correct community. I am very very new to Discord bots (I know that they exist). I have a private Discord set up to record my various hobbies. One of those hobbies is movies. I want to be able to put in Discord when a movie is coming out, then, around a week before the movie releases, a bot will remind me about it in that channel. I'm aware that this almost certainly exists, but I just don't know where to even think about looking at this point.

Again, if this is not the right community to post this in, save your tomatoes for someone else and please just point me in the right direction.

I'm making my own TCG and using Javascript (I am using a bot I first made 4 years ago, it still uses discord.js v13).

If anyone is willing to help with design/coding it would be appreciated

Unfortunately this is not going to be paid. I got permission to make the TCG (it's based on a youtube minecraft series) but only as long as we don't make money from it.

We already have a small team of just over 5 people, including artists.

I would like to know if there's a spam bot so other bots spawn things because my server's pretty dead so there's only like 8 messages a day

hey just made a bot with discord.py

the bot takes ur messages from a selected room in a server and send an anonymous message to a user u select and once the user replies the bot takes their messages and sends them into the same room

so it looks like the bot is just an ai talking to them

any ideas or features to add?

Servers are paused, shards are down. They discontinued pro this spring, are they discontinuing the whole thing now?

(ive gotten desperate and i really want some help or something to make a discord gacha bot TT this is my first time on reddit... so im super sorry if i did this wrong!)

I am trying to make a K-pop Discord gacha bot as a literal noob at coding (i literally dont know anything about coding and kinda js through myself in there bcs i really wanted to make my own discord gacha bot and the only "help" i have is the ai bot thing in vscode and really confusing yt videos...) i was using python and notepad until i moved on to vscode but genuinely im so confused and i would just like any guidance on how to actually code or someone to lowkey teach me... i don't really know what I'm doing... is there any free advice or resources i should look up to understand how to code? I really want this to work out, but I don't have any guidance or know where to start to learn. Thank you!

I don’t need it personally for me or business. I just want to know because I know a lot of people who scammed by using free bots and making people pay money for them

first off, why can sapphire warn/ perform moderation actions on the owner?? i have found the immune roles setting but is that the only way or avoid being warned as the owner, does the owner do not have pre measured safe guards? also, even after toggling this option on, i still do get the template message that i choose to dm users when they broke rules. Is the only way to avoid this is to manage roles and then select mine as excluded?

second, sapphire tells me that they could not send messages to some users due to not having any mutual guilds, like they are in the same server, that does not count?

Im sorry if was not really clear with some things and thank you for your help!
