Everything Discord Buddy can do for your server
Welcome members, reward activity, run support and keep things safe. Every feature is set up from the website and can be switched on or off on its own.
Used in 200+ servers. Almost everything is free. Premium raises the limits.
Welcome & onboarding
Make a great first impression and get new members where they need to go.
Setup guides
Welcome messages
Plain text, embeds or Components cards with buttons, channel links and role menus. Placeholders like {user}, {membernumber} and random greetings keep it personal.

A generated image card with the member's avatar and name. Use the built-in backgrounds or upload your own with Premium.

Give every new member up to five roles automatically, like a "Member" or "Unverified" role.
Leave messages
Post a note when someone leaves, including who invited them.
