ThreadReviver

A Discord bot to revive any archived threads (to counter Discord's auto-archive function).

Environment variables

• THREADREVIVER_DISCORD_TOKEN: a bot token from the Discord Developer Portal

Discord permissions

The bot requires the MANAGE_THREADS Discord permission to operate. Any channels it does not have this permission for will not be revivable by the bot, and these will be printed to STDERR at runtime to assist with permissions management.

Note that version 0.1.0 required SEND_MESSAGES_IN_THREADS instead, so your bot may no longer be setup correctly -- do check! (This permission is also no longer required.)

Usage instructions

1. Install the bot: cargo install thread_reviver
   • Alternatively, build it yourself with cargo build
2. Create a bot on the Discord Developer Portal
3. Set the THREADREVIVER_DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable
4. Invite the bot to your server
   • You'll need to create an invitation link for this; see Discord's documentation.
5. Run the bot.
