Anything like this for Discord?

I've built a solution for this for Discord, it's called AnswerOverflow! (https://www.answeroverflow.com/)

Doing this indexing work is a bit different on Discord as their privacy policy doesn't let you publicly share users messages without them consenting first - so this project has got a lot built out for driving user consent to allow for those messages to be displayed publicly.

For users who haven't explicitly said they want their messages to be public, those messages can still be shown on the site they just have to be behind a sign in that checks if the users are in the same server

A big focus of this project is building out tools to improve help channels on Discord and then using what gets built out to drive user consent, for example one feature of it is being able to mark questions as solved which also prompts users to contribute their messages

Have you been approved for the privileged message content intent? Or you just relying on staying < 100 servers?

I haven't requested privileged message content intent yet as you need to be in at least 75 servers to do that but I don't think this project will have any trouble getting it - the plan is to grow past 100 servers, at the moment I'm working on reaching out to people to grow it more.

It's already gone through some review at Discord as the bot got incorrectly quarantined when it was in its first server, so I had to explain what it was and how it worked in my support ticket. They didn't raise any concerns and unquarantined it

Compliance with the ToS is also expanded upon more at https://www.answeroverflow.com/faq

A few days ago I've used https://github.com/nthitz/discord-slack-import to import the slack channels to Discord. It's not perfect (doesn't use threads) but it's one of the better tools I've found.

If somebody knows a more recent/feature rich tool, I'd love to hear it!

rereading your comment: I guess you are looking for a way to export your discord history, not import your slack history into discord. sorry!

Heya, glad you found the tool useful, I made it just for my small friends Slack/Discord. Probably won't be making many updates, but I'm still curious what features you wish the tool had!

Haven't looked at Discord yet but there's another comment that links to a tool that supports both
