New Bot Dev Struggles... Any Tips?
I have a small growing Discord bot that I am very much still actively coding.
I included a dev server invite link on the bottom of every command which gives status and updates, but still not a single user has joined besides those who know me personally (The bot just needs some basic configuring, after that no commands need to run)
The past update came with numerous bugs I didn't catch until just now (it's been like 2 weeks) and several users kicked the bot from their guild without ever knowing what is going on or being able to tell me what was going on.
What are some tips and tricks you more experienced bot devs have that I may use to avoid this or at least limit as much as possible (... besides just being a better dev, we all make mistakes... I forgot to save the database for the past 2 weeks silly stupid error)
I saw that generating invite links is against the rules, so that's out of the question. Was thinking of fetching the server owner and messaging them, but I feel that is also a bad idea. I could just make the bot private, but I'm really hoping to get genuine responses and feedback before people meet me directly. I'm at a loss.
