Discord CrosspostBot

A Discord bot for crossposting from multiple servers into another server.

Setup

Download this repo through git with

$ git clone https://github.com/danielhklein/CrosspostBot.git

Two files need to be set up for this bot to work:

auth.json

Create a file named auth.json in the root directory. It should follow this format:

{
  "token": "your Discord bot token"
}

If you have not created a bot yet or don't have an auth token yet, you can follow steps 2 - 4 here to do so and authorize your bot with your servers.

src/constants.ts

Create a constants.ts or constants.js file in the src directory.

It should follow this format:

export const serverMappings: object = {
  "serverToReadFromId": {
    "channelToReadFromId": "channelToWriteToId"
  },
  ...
};

export const writeServerId: string = "serverToWriteToId";

Startup

You're ready to go now! Just run npm install then npm run start to run the bot.

FAQ

Can I write to multiple servers?

Not currently, though I may add the ability to do so later (feel free to send a PR!)

Is there a limit to how many servers/channels I can read from?

Outside of Discord's built-in limitations, this bot has no hard read limits.You may experience performance issues if too many servers are being read, however.

Can I change the crosspost message format?

You can! Just modify the arguments of destChannel.send in CrosspostBot.ts.

Will _ be preserved in the crossposting?

Currently I have verified that attachments, emojis, gifs, and spoiler tags will all crosspost properly. Let me know if something is not being preserved.

Will reacts be crossposted?

No.
