Why a person checks every listing

Adding a bot to your Discord server is a matter of trust. You're handing a piece of software access to your community, often with more permissions than you'd give most people. That's why Nexobots works the way it does.

Someone tries it first

Every bot and server goes through a person before it's listed. A reviewer invites the bot, tries its commands and checks that it does what its page says. It takes longer than listing straight away, and we think that's a fair trade: when you find something here, you know someone has actually used it.

You can see what we checked

A listing doesn't just get a badge. Each reviewed page has small review notes that show when it was checked and what we looked at. When a listing isn't approved, the reason is public too.

Permissions in plain words

Every bot page explains what it asks for, and flags the permissions that can do real damage. If a bot asks for more after its review, we show that as well. Administrator is a rare exception: the developer has to explain why it's needed, and a moderator or admin decides.

Help for the people who build them

A directory is only as good as the bots in it. So we also write guides for discord.js and discord.py, from your first line of code to a verified bot, and our mentors help out one to one when you're stuck.

Small projects get seen

The ranking counts real votes, and badges can't be bought. New and rising bots get their own place on the front page, so a good bot with 40 servers still has a chance of being found.

Nexobots is a small, independent project, and it isn't affiliated with Discord. If you'd like to help, we're looking for volunteers. Got a bot or a server? Add it here.
