Clone this Repository (or download release from the releases tab)
git clone https://github.com/colethedj/r-botreborn.git
Install Requirements
cd rbotreborn
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Open config.ini in your favorite text editor. I'm using gedit here.
gedit config.ini
Discord API
Follow these instructions to get a discord bot account and add it to your server.
Add the bot token in config.ini (TOKEN NOT ID)
[discord.cred]
# token for discord API
token = TOKEN_HERE
Reddit API
Go to https://reddit.com/prefs/apps/ and create a new app.
Give it a name. For the redirect uri you can make it go to this repository (or wherever)
Copy the id (below the 'personal use script' text) and the secret and paste it in the config.ini file
[reddit.cred]
client_id = CLIENT_ID_HERE
client_secret = CLIENT_SECRET_HERE
Gfycat API
This is used to convert videos etc into gifs so they are viewable in a discord embed (as videos and other formats are not supported by discord embeds)
Sign in with your gfycat account here (create an account if you don't have one already)
Fill in the key request form (again app URL can just go to this respository)
Paste the API credientials you recieved in your email in the config.ini file
[gfycat]
client_id = CLIENT_ID_HERE
client_secret = CLIENT_SECRET_HERE
Edit any other values in the config.ini file to suit you.
Launch!
# make sure you are in the bots directory
python3 rbotreborn.py
type <chosen prefix>help in the chat to display available commands
Note: You may have to add a role to the bot in your server to give enough permissions (read, send, delete messages and reactions)

See the Issues tab for latest known issues and fixes.
but basically some things I'm aware of:
- No Permissions to control what functions users can use
- Spamming the navigation reactions on comments may 'crash' the embed (display comments not received error)
Q: Why is it "reborn"
A: I had another earlier "test" bot for this idea named "R-BOT" (reddit-bot) and I just wanted to rewrite it so named it R-BotReborn
