🔧 Setup • - 📘 Wiki • ⛑️ Support - -## ✨ Meet Unifier! -Unifier is a bot written in Python that allows communities to connect together to form global chat rooms, even across -multiple platforms. It is made to be fast, versatile, and flexible. - -We built Unifier to create a free, safe, and open conversing space, where the things we could talk about are limitless, as -long as they are safe topics. - -## 🎨 Features -### Basic features -Like most bridge bots, Unifier has basic commands such as link, unlink, etc., so you can do most of what you'd need to do -all on your messaging app of choice. - -### Fast and responsive bridge -Using threading and optimizations, Unifier has been tested to be able to send up to 33 messages a second through webhooks, so -nobody needs to wait to see your messages. Do note that this speed will vary depending on lots of factors. - -### External platforms support -With support for external platforms, you can bring your communities outside of Discord together, or get a break from Discord -without losing your community. Unifier supports virtually any platform with the help of support Plugins, so the possibilities -are endless. - -We've written a platform support Plugin for [Revolt](https://github.com/UnifierHQ/unifier-revolt), so give that a try! - -### Moderation commands -After you assign bot admins, they can assign moderators, who can help moderate the chat and take action against bad actors. -Server moderators can also block members and servers from bridging messages to their servers should they find it necessary. - -### And more! -- **Message cache backups**: Unifier's message cache is backed up on graceful shutdowns, so it remembers message IDs between - reboots for replying, editing, and deleting. -- **Easy management**: Unifier comes with a built-in upgrader, so upgrading your instance is a breeze. Even new configuration - keys are added automatically, so you don't have to worry about them. -- **Message reporting**: Users can report messages to Unifier moderators, so they can more easily take action against bad - actors. -- **Plugins support**: Anyone can always code and install plugins for Unifier to extend its functionality. If you need help - making your own plugin, you can always use our [template](https://github.com/UnifierHQ/unifier-plugin). -- **Database-free**: No need to get a database up and running. Everything is stored locally on the same system you use to run - Unifier, so things are easier to set up and your data is more portable. -- **External bridge support**: Unifier supports external bridge services like - [matrix-t2bot](https://github.com/t2bot/matrix-appservice-discord), so you can connect platforms beyond what we can cover and - avoid reconfiguring too much. - -## 📚 Setup -Please follow our guides on GitBook to set up Unifier. - -- [If you're using an existing Unifier client](https://unichat-wiki.pixels.onl/setup/getting-started) - -- [If you're hosting your own Unifier client](https://unichat-wiki.pixels.onl/setup-selfhosted/getting-started) - -### Managing updates -From v1.2.0, System Manager now manages updates.
