Q&A
-
What is the timeline for Slash Commands Permissions v3
- Documentation came out a month ago
- Aligns Command Permissions with Server Permissions
- Rollout starts on Friday
- If you've used the permissions system before you can opt in to v3 starting Friday.
- This will remain through to early 2023
- This will be forcibly rolled out during Q1 2023
-
Will there be per-guild metadata for Linked Roles
- Not being considered at this time.
-
Why is the support server only shown if it is discoverable?
- Only discoverable servers show up because the embed breaks when the server is not discoverable
- Non-discovberable servers will be supported in App Directory
- Bug in Discord makes it act oddly.
-
Are we going to have Select Menus, Buttons insdide Modals
- No direct plans, but is a part of App Interactivity outlined above on desktop and mobile.
- Discord wants to make sure using apps on Mobile works as well as on Desktop.
-
Improvements planned for App Directory such as Linking to App Directory profile pages on the open internet
- No answers, but "making the App Directory more accessible to more people in more places"
-
API IPv6
- Written answer from @snek#0002: "ipv6 status: we want to support this but it requires many complex changes to how we handle routing within our internal network. we are not actively working on these changes but combined with other projects and future work we want to do, it is likely we will support ipv6 at some point in the future."
-
Better support for HTTP-only bots
- Definitely an area to be invested in
- Gateway bots are easier to make but harder to scale
- Want to make HTTP bots easier to make and give them more features.
-
Will we ever get a sandbox server for bot developers
- No answer
- "Most things can be tested in a normal server"
- Some things are locked behind Nitro
- Private threads have changed/are changing?
-
Are there plans to make an app's scopes/intents more visible.
- "Data Access" tab in the App Profile lists Privileged Intents
- Also shows a link to general data bots have.
- The average person in a server doesn't need to know most bot permissions.
- However the user should know the special accesses and general access bots get.
-
Better language support
- Discord understands that its userbase is international
- Hence command localisation
- Major area that is lacking is localised documentation
- It's hard to translate documentation
- Definitely hoping that the tech stack can support translated docs.
- Improving approachability for non-English pseakers is important.
-
Custom Activities open to third parties
- Maybe in the future
-
Userbot support
- "You are all the worst" - @Mason#1337
- "There is absolutely no way I am giving a yes or no answer" - Mason
- Apps are important to Discord
- The model of apps has worked well for a long time
- Many things can be done by expanding that interaction model
- More accessibility for apps
- That are some other operating models
- No promises, but very interesting questions
-
Thank you again for the recap!
