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

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.

Hey,

I’m offering to build a custom Discord bot in exchange for a 1 month Discord Nitro gift.

I can make bots for things like:

• Moderation systems
• Ticket/support systems
• Auto roles and onboarding
• Leveling and XP systems
• Custom commands
• Matchmaking or game lobbies
• Simple automation tools for servers

I have experience setting up Discord servers and building structured systems for communities, so I can also help design the bot around your server needs instead of just coding features blindly.

What I’ll need from you:

• A clear idea of what you want the bot to do
• Any specific features or workflows
• Your server setup if it’s already made

Delivery time depends on complexity but most simple bots can be done pretty quickly.

If you’re interested, DM me with what you’re trying to build.

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'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.

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?

(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'd like to get assitance from you guys as soon as possible, thanks :-))

P.S i started by modifiyng the ban template so i need assitance. lol
Also I might be bad at this so if anyhting this could go wrong and nonetheless id lke to hear feedback :DDDDD

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!

Hello group, I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a bot that will create a new role for every single person who joins the server.

There was this discord bot, I can't remember if it was Carl or a bot that doubled as a moderation tool but the bot would randomly type in chat using commonly said words and phrases in the server but I can't for the life of e remember what bot it was, please tell me someone knows what I'm talking about

Good day. I'm the owner of a Discord server based around a game, and want to know if there is any bot that could help in the regard of sharing the Twitter posts made by the studio behind it so all users can be updated.

I don't have a Twitter account myself, so I don't know if this affects how much can we get, if at all. Thanks for reading this

Heywo everyone, I'm currently running a social credit score/gamification bot and i am preparing my application for the Message Content Intent privilege. Because the bot functions by scoring chat engagement dynamically, processing message events is core to the bots functionality without it it simply won't work and is completely useless

- Message content is always deleted from memory and never stored

- Users have the option to delete all their data and future tracking via command -> confirmation

I also have an extensive privacy policy and terms of service. What else do I need to look out for?

I was wondering if there were any good bots to keep track of what is in a storage and edit it pretty painlessly. Using a simple command like /-100 blue clay or /set blue clay 1000 so people actually use it.

I'm trying to keep my Discord server clean by having all bot commands go through a single #bot-commands channel.

The issue is that every bot seems to handle this differently:

• Dyno has channel restrictions.
• Some bots have command channels.
• Others don't seem to support it at all.
• Slash commands can be restricted with Discord permissions, but prefix commands are another story.

Is there an all-in-one solution (bot, app, or Discord setting) that can force all bot commands to only work in one channel?

Ideally I'd like:

• All slash commands restricted to #bot-commands
• All prefix commands restricted to #bot-commands
• No need to configure every bot individually
• A setup that's commonly used in larger Discord servers

How are other server owners handling this nowadays? Am I missing an easier solution? 🤔
