How to Make Your Discord Bot's Status Show Member Count and Server Count

Building a bot for Discord can be both an exciting and challenging process. One interactive feature you might want to implement is a dynamic status update that displays the number of members and servers your bot is connected to. This not only makes your bot feel more alive but may also provide useful information to users within your Discord community.

In this guide, we'll guide you through how to achieve this with discord.py, a powerful Python library for Discord bot development.

Understanding the Problem

You might find yourself wanting your bot’s status to say something akin to “Watching [member count] members and [server count] servers.” The difficulty lies in dynamically fetching the correct counts from the Discord servers your bot belongs to. Luckily, discord.py makes this process relatively simple.

Solution Overview

To display both the member count and server count in your bot's status, you need to:

Fetch the total number of servers your bot is in.

Accumulate the number of members across all those servers.

Format this information into a string and set it as your bot's presence.

Getting the Number of Servers

The first step is to determine how many servers (or guilds) your bot is currently part of. The client.guilds attribute provides a list of all the guilds your bot has joined, and the length of this list will give you the total server count.

Getting the Number of Members

Next, you'll want to count the total number of members. However, it's important to note that each guild includes your bot itself in the member count. To get the total number of actual users, you will subtract 1 from the guild.member_count.

Here is how to do that:

Updating the on_ready() Event

Now that you've gathered the necessary data, you can finalize it by updating the on_ready() event of your bot. This is what the complete implementation looks like:

Explanation of the Code

on_ready() Event: This is an event that runs when your bot has successfully logged in and is ready to operate.

Counting Servers: By utilizing len(client.guilds), you can effectively count how many servers the bot is connected to.

Counting Members: A for loop goes through each server that the bot is a part of, accumulating the total members minus one for the bot itself.

Updating Status: Finally, await client.change_presence() sets your bot's status to show the number of servers and members dynamically.

Conclusion

Implementing dynamic status updates in your Discord bot using discord.py can add a personal touch and provide users with real-time information about your bot's presence in the community. By following the steps outlined above, you'll have a bot that keeps everyone in the loop regarding the number of servers it's in and the total user count. Happy coding!
