Hey everyone! I’m trying to set up a Discord bot that can automatically copy messages from a channel in one server and post them in a channel on my own server. The tricky part is that I don’t own the first server, so I’m not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have experience with this kind of bot? I’d really appreciate some guidance on how to make it work or if there are any existing bots that can do this job. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
hey, i did this before. check out discord.py: it’s great for building bots that read messages. but make sure it only reads where allowed. good luck!
I’ve worked on similar projects before. While discord.py is a solid choice, you might want to consider using discord.js for better performance and more frequent updates. Keep in mind that automatically copying messages from a server you don’t own could potentially violate Discord’s terms of service. It’s crucial to get permission from the server owner first. Also, look into Discord’s API rate limits to ensure your bot doesn’t get banned. If you’re set on proceeding, make sure to implement proper error handling and logging to troubleshoot any issues that might arise during message transfers.
I’ve dabbled in Discord bots, and this is a bit of a tricky situation. While it’s technically possible to create such a bot, you’re treading in murky waters ethically and potentially legally. Discord’s terms of service are pretty strict about unauthorized data collection from servers you don’t own.
Instead of automating this process, have you considered reaching out to the owner of the other server? They might be open to setting up a partnership or allowing you to share specific content. This approach would be much safer and more respectful of the community’s privacy.
If you do proceed, be extremely cautious. Ensure you have explicit permission, implement strict filters on what content is transferred, and be prepared for potential consequences if the other server members or Discord staff take issue with your bot’s actions.
