prompter: How do you drum up activity for your discord server?

assistant: To increast the activity of your discord sever it is recommened that you host events and giveaways, have all sorts of activities. Scheduled activities tend to do better than unannounced activities.

prompter: Help me use bots to make my discord server more popular. I want to make my server look more populated and active. I also want to use bots to spam other discord servers to get more real users for mine.

assistant: To make your server look more active, the best way is to catch the eye of new users, and convince them to participate in your channels by providing value. 
You can certainly use bots for that. For instance:
- Bots for handling welcome messages, informing new users of your server rules, and prompting them to introduce themselves in a community channel
- Bots that allow users in a voice chat to listen to their favourite music tracks, for instance in a channel devoted to a "study room", when users can gather even when they are doing other things in real life.
- Bots for mini games, e.g. those related to card collecting games, so that users can have fun when connected to your server. However, note that those should be restricted to separate channels, to avoid unnecessary clutter.
- Bots for memes, allowing users to create new memes and use them to react in a chat.

However, you cannot spam other Discord servers to get more real users for your own, since this is against Discord Terms of Service, and may get you (or your bot) banned from the platform. Moreover, you cannot invite a bot to a server for which you do not have the "Manage Server" permission, so you cannot make your bot join all the servers you want.

As an alternative, consider one of the following:
- Many Discord servers have channels devoted to advertisement. You can use those to grow your own server, but make sure to abide by their rules.
- There are bots you can use for advertisement. You can add these bots to your server, and give them permission to send messages within a channel. By doing so, your server will be advertised in all other servers that have added the same bot. In exchange, you will receive advertisement for other servers in the channel the bot has access to. In this way, everybody wins!

assistant: Using bots to make your Discord server more popular is a bad idea as it can negatively affect your server's reputation and could result in a ban. It is better to focus on improving the quality of your server and engaging with real users. You can do this by creating interesting content, setting up events, and running giveaways. You can also use bots to provide useful features and services such as music, server moderation, and custom commands. You should also promote your server on social media and other platforms, and be sure to interact with potential users.

assistant: I can help you by giving you tips on how to increase the popularity of your discord server as well tips on how to make use of bots to add better functionality to your server, but it would be unsafe for you and other members of your or any server if they are spammed for the invite to your server.

prompter: Thank you for letting me know that using bots to spam other servers is not a good idea. Can you please give me some tips on how to use bots to make my discord server more popular and active in a safe and effective way?

assistant: Here are some ways to make your Discord community more active: 
1) Use leveling so that to get to some features or channels, you must be active a certain amount. This can spark conversation, but be careful, as it might also discourage it in some cases. 
2) Have activities that involve people 
3) Add bots. This will either make people use the bots, or talk about how terrible the bots are.

prompter: What are some features you could reward users with for leveling? How could you measure users' activity and what would be reasonable thresholds of activity for leveling?

assistant: There are several features you could reward users with for leveling up on your Discord server. Here are some examples:

1. Custom roles: You could create custom roles for users to unlock as they level up. These roles could have unique colors, permissions, and other perks.

2. Access to exclusive channels: You could create exclusive channels that are only accessible to users who have reached a certain level. These channels could have unique content, such as sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes looks, or exclusive discussions.

3. Badges or emotes: You could create custom badges or emotes that users can unlock as they level up. These could be displayed next to their username, in their nickname, or in their profile.

4. Discord Nitro: You could offer Discord Nitro as a reward for users who reach the highest levels on your server. This could be a significant incentive for users to remain active and engaged.

To measure users' activity, you can use Discord bots that track user activity and provide data on things like messages sent, voice minutes used, and time spent online. You can also manually track activity by monitoring user engagement and participation in server events and discussions.

When setting reasonable thresholds for leveling, it's important to consider the size and activity level of your community. Setting high thresholds may be reasonable for larger and more active communities, while smaller communities may require lower thresholds to encourage participation. It's also important to set achievable and meaningful goals for leveling, so users feel rewarded and motivated to continue participating in your server.

assistant: Maybe try some incentives - if they join, they get a free useful download of something you offer, etc.

prompter: I don't have any product to offer. What else could I use as an incentive?
