Luckydonalds Bots: Development/Status

Fixed an issue where @ChatNetworkBot in some cases didn't reply when it should send an invite link after the /start via deeplinking. Thanks in helping diagnose, L.s. and C. #fixed#ChatNetworkBot

Updated @ChatNetworkBot, fixed an issue where using a direct group referral links to a chat (not associated with a network) would make it impossible to join that chat for the next 24 hours. #update#ChatNetworkBot

Moving @ChatNetworkBot to a new server, will be back soon. Other services are not affected. #ChatNetworkBot

Updated @ChatNetworkBot: Channel support and better invite links With the channel support you can now easily group channels and easily have them listed next to your chats. The new simple chat invite allows you to use the security of the invite links which are replaced regularly, making it impossible to be added to those annoying spam bot join list. And of cause, thanks to giving each link a title you can even see from where the people join your group. Channel support: - You now got a /add_network_to_channel command, allowing you to register a channel as well (bot must be admin, command must be used in PM) - Added /remove_chat_by_id to remove channels and chats you may have lost access to - You can now link to a network instead of only chats, making it convinient to select what channel/chat you wanna join, see below. Invite links overhaul: - New /invite_chat command: Simply create a protected invite link to your chat. You no longer need to create a network for that. - New /invite_network command: Link directly to a network, giving the user a choice before joining. - Renamed /create_referral to /invite_network_chat to match the other two. This is a chat invite which also stores the network, giving you basically the best from both worlds. The user can join the intended chat or select a different one to join. #update#ChatNetworkBot

New Bot: @ChatNetworkBot, allowing you to link together groups, and fight spam. It allows you to quickly discovers other groups in any associated network with a simple /chats command, while it makes it hard for those spam bots. How fighting spam works: The bot will hand out join links which are valid for only a minute or so, thus making it really hard for those spam bots which follow around any invite link they see. Because we don't usually want to invest in yet another Bitcoin like currency, no thank you. Also you can create referral links to your group, so the bot will quickly tell you where a user joins from. It works in both private and public groups, simply add the bot as admin and run /add_network specifying the network to add. If you wanna give it a try, check out this fake network: Test Network I am running this in several groups already, that's why I'm now confidently announcing it publicly. So if you have some groups which have a common idea, a specific fan base or some other things in public, it's now very easy to put them together. #new#ChatNetworkBot
