Discord Red Bot - Cog Suggestions (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I host my own Discord Red bot for a (relatively) small discord server (~50 people total, ~20 who actively participate, ~10 who login weekly/daily).

I currently use Redbot as a glorified music bot, but I know it is capable of much, much more. Are there any suggestions on cogs I should install for it for our server?

@HBK there are hangman cogs, wordle, chess and many more games. there is an index for cogs that can help you find relevant ones https://index.discord.red/Other than the standard admin ones, i found the tickettool to be very useful for setting up an approval process before someone is allowed in.

    TY for the link! I started scrolling through the index, but with 621 Cogs it got a bit....daunting, I wish it had a 'most popular' or 'sort by most downloaded' option, but I understand why it doesn't.

    @HBK yes, its impossible to go through them all, searching by keywords might be helpful. e.g 'games', 'reminder', 'birthday'

    Might sound crazy, but I actually went through it all lol. For music you may want to consider the lastfm cog. I use it for movies so I have themoviedb cog and created my own letterboxd cog.. not great but it works. i also use aiuser with an API, useful to get some (old) information and you can set it up to roast people or talk in a certain way for entertainment purposes. cleanup is another useful cog to quickly clean up a lot of messages quickly (delete from message ID, delete messages between message ID1 and ID2 etc). i use the system cog to get server cpu/ram/hd usage.
