Command Reference

This page lists every command the LFG Hub bot publishes to Discord, who can use it, and what it does.

How permissions work

Each command is registered with a default permission level:

• Admin-only — the command requires the Administrator permission. By default only administrators see it. You can re-grant access to specific roles or members in Discord under Server Settings → Integrations → LFG Hub.
• Moderator — the command requires Manage Server, so it's hidden from ordinary members. Acting on a report additionally requires Ban Members or a moderator role configured in /setup-lfg-channel.
• Everyone — available to all members.

Some commands also work in DMs; where it matters, it's noted below.

Slash commands

Everyone

/lfg

Create a group for a game and start looking for players — the slash equivalent of the Create Group button on LFG channel panels, usable in any text channel. This is the main, short command name; /create-group is the same command under its full name — both behave identically.

• Access: everyone · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  game	String (autocomplete)	No	Games configured on the server, or the full game database if none are set up yet. Omit it to use the channel's configured game (or a game picker when several are configured).

• What it does: After you pick a game you review your saved LFG filters (or step through the option wizard the first time), then the bot posts the LFG message, creates the private group thread, and starts matching players. On servers with an LFG channel configured for the game, the post goes there; otherwise it's posted right in the channel where you ran the command — no setup required.

/lfg-schedule

Schedule a group for later instead of playing right now — the slash equivalent of the panel's Schedule Group button. See Scheduling. /create-group-schedule is the same command under its full name — both behave identically.

• Access: everyone · server only
• Options: same game option as /lfg (optional, autocomplete)
• What it does: Opens the scheduling form (time in natural language, timezone dropdown), then posts the session as a joinable event. Sessions can be scheduled up to 24 hours ahead.
• Requires Schedule to be enabled for the game in /setup-lfg-channel. Games without it reply "Scheduling isn't enabled here" — see Scheduling.

/open-to-join

Mark yourself Open to Join for a game — the slash equivalent of the panel's Open to Join button.

• Access: everyone · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  game	String (autocomplete)	Yes	Games configured on the server, or the full game database if none are set up yet.

• What it does: Posts your "open to join" card (with your filters) and registers you as an available player, so group owners can invite you and the bot can proactively pair you with other solo players. The card lands in the game's LFG channel when one is configured, otherwise in the channel where you ran the command. Availability expires automatically. See Open to Join.

/feedback

Send feedback or report an issue to the LFG Hub team.

• Access: everyone · works in DMs
• Options: none
• What it does: Opens a form with a required message box (up to 2000 characters) and an optional file upload (up to 5 files, e.g. screenshots). Use it to report a bug or suggest an improvement.

/help

Request help from the LFG Hub team.

• Access: everyone · works in DMs
• Options: none
• What it does: Opens the same form as /feedback. Use it when you need assistance with the bot.

Admin only

/setup-lfg-channel

The main configuration wizard. Optional but recommended — members can already use /lfg (or /create-group) and /open-to-join without any setup, but running the wizard pre-configures which games players can create groups for in each channel and with which options, and a specific setup makes your server discoverable to players across the LFG Network.

• Access: Administrator · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  game	String (autocomplete)	Yes	Start typing to search the game database.

• What it does: After you pick a game, you step through a multi-page wizard to make that game playable through the bot. See Configuration and Games for a full walkthrough. In short, the wizard covers:

  1. Game Options — the LFG filters players pick when creating a group (platforms, group sizes, game modes, regions, languages, group chat type, and more).
  2. Members Ping — Smart LFG Ping and how pings are delivered.
  3. DM Group Recommendations — Smart DM Recommendations, optionally scoped to a role.
  4. Server Settings — LFG Network connection, role-to-filter mapping, moderator roles.
  5. Voice Channel Settings — the "searching" and "groups" categories, voice-channel naming, music bots.

  Run it again on an existing game to edit its configuration. Configure it as specifically as possible — the more precise your setup, the better your server is matched and recommended across the LFG Network.

/setup-server

A status view — not a setup step. You never need to run it to configure anything.

• Access: Administrator
• Options: none
• What it does: Shows an overview of LFG Hub on your server — how to set up (if you haven't), which features are currently on or off (Smart LFG Ping, Smart DM Recommendations), and which LFG channels are configured. Use it any time to check your current state; all actual configuration lives in /setup-lfg-channel.

Managing discovery features

Smart LFG Ping, Smart DM Recommendations, and the LFG Network connection are all managed inside the /setup-lfg-channel wizard — there are no standalone commands for these.

Moderator only

See Moderation & Reports for how reports and restrictions work.

/lookup

Everything the bot knows about one player on your server.

• Access: Manage Server · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  user	User	Yes	The player to look up.

• What it does: Shows whether they're currently restricted and until when, their last 10 cases with the reason each was filed under and how it was resolved, and their record — earlier reports, groups played and owned, likes, how many times other owners banned them from a group, first and last seen, and account age.

/case

One case in full.

• Access: Manage Server · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  id	Integer	Yes	The case number shown on the report in your reports channel.

• What it does: Shows the report, who handled it and when, any restriction and its expiry, a jump link to the original post, and the group's roster — who owned it, who was banned from it, and how each member joined. Only cases filed on your server are returned.

/pardon

Lift a restriction early.

• Access: Manage Server · server only

• Options:

  Option	Type	Required	Description
  id	Integer	Yes	The case number whose restriction should be lifted.

• What it does: Clears the restriction attached to that case, so the player can create groups and voice channels again immediately. Restrictions expire on their own, so this is only needed to end one early. The case itself stays on the player's record.

Context-menu commands

These appear when you right-click (or long-press) a message or user → Apps. Responses are ephemeral — only you see them.

View Date Sent

• Type: message context menu · Access: everyone
• What it does: Shows the full date the selected message was originally sent.

View Date Joined

• Type: user context menu · Access: everyone
• What it does: Shows when the selected user joined the server (or, in a DM, when their Discord account was created).
