The following approach is needed because Discord has effectively abandoned the voice status feature.

It is not documented in the official Discord API documentation, which means it is considered unstable and may change at any time without notice.

That level of uncertainty is not ideal for a library like discord.py. The behavior described below is not necessarily undocumented or explicitly discouraged, but you are largely on your own. You are working directly with the raw data that the Discord API sends to the library, before it is parsed or exposed through any higher-level abstractions.

For more information or questions about this approach, you can ask in the discord.py server.

Also see discord/discord-api-docs#6398

Basics

• (Forum) posts are threads in forum channels.
• Threads can be created per message or per channel.
• Only channel threads can be private.
• For message and forum threads, the thread's ID matches the starter message's ID.
• You can lock threads so only users with the right permissions can send messages.
• Threads can be archived, which removes them from the channel list. This also happens automatically after a period of inactivity.
  • You can set how long a thread stays active before auto-archiving with auto_archive_duration.
  • Get the archive time with archive_timestamp.

What is self.bot and how does it work?

TLDR: it's a custom attribute which you define.

self = class instance
bot = attribute that's usually assigned to the bot instance given in an extension's setup function.

Basically:

class MyCog(Cog):
    # this function is called when we do MyCog()

Soheab

# for testing:
# import collections
# emoji = collections.namedtuple("emo", ["animated"])(False)

emoji = ... # some (Partial)Emoji object
guild = ... # some Guild object
emojis = guild.emojis
total = len(guild.emojis)
limit = guild.emoji_limit
animated = sum(1 for e in emojis if e.animated)
