What are your favorite Discord bots?

byβ€’
I'm working on a new project that will start as a Discord server. What bots have you found most useful and how do you use them? Bonus points: What bots should exist? Maybe someone here will be excited to build it. 😊

What's Discord? πŸ˜…

@zacchaeusnifong it's like IRC! :P

Start with no bots, then recruit admins from among your users to handle this. It'll happen easily, naturally and organically that way. I'll be an admin and help you out if you want.
Ryan Hoover
@humboldtproject appreciate that, Marlo! I'm working with a few folks now but may open this up to a much wider audience in the coming weeks. To your point, I agree it's best to do things manually and then add bots as clear needs arise.

The discord-role-bot for auto assignment of roles. BetterAntiSpam to deal with the grift.

For the bonus points... In my LLPSI (Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrate) Discord (Latin Language Server) there's been nothing to keep people motivated to finish the Lingua Latina book. The folks that have finished it did it out of sheer will. A great bot would be something that nudges people to keep reading Lingua Latina and not give up. Another great bot would be a bot that reminds you to keep chatting with someone because you have something there in terms of a potential friendship. I would so work on these but these days, I'm working primarily on Arabic NLP in Elixir. (Yes, the community is porting a ton of machine learning stuff into Elixir for real time ML).

totally biased - Collab.Land bot for crypto based communities. These NFT communities are the evolution of social and crypto. More community than β€œsocial” (as in social media). Community finance - ComFi (pronounced comfy)?

@jamesyoung Collab.Land is awesome. I've used it as a member of FWB.

One of my favourite things about Discord are react bots e.g Zira https://top.gg/bot/2758138017926... You just have to react to an emoji to set off a role based automation (like being able to access a channel or get updates etc). Makes customisation for members easy and fun!

Weeding through the discord bots that aren't geared for 12 year olds is tough. My buddy compiled a pretty nice list at https://medium.com/launchpass/th... but admittedly plugged his own objectively dope bot at #4.

I've been working on igni for more than a year. It's a bot with moderation (automod, clearing messages, banning users), fun and reaction command (which will send GIFs), some image manipulations (macro/meme maker), dev commands (searching npm registry), games (osu, minecraft integration as well as it's own trivia and few more), reaction roles (like click a reaction to get a role/color) and generally anything one of my servers needed (I own or administrate servers with 300k+ members). I'm also working on a website for it so it can fully replace bots like mee6 (which have a lot of paid basic features) and Dyno (which is great moderation bot, but I still needed a bit more sometimes). Igni is on bot lists like top.gg, so you can find it there.

Can I join it?

(Sent you a LinkedIn message with a connection request. *How are we not connected yet? w-t-heck? :)* Message contains.. "Ryan, I know a person who is an admin of a famous Discord server group; Christiaan Neeteson. Meditation Mind is the group - 4601 members. 665 online as I look at it." I suggest asking him. He's also an Online Marketing Manager which is very cool too. Hope it helps!

I would add more. However, I prefer to do that via direct message like LinkedIn or whatever.
