Introduction
LFG Hub is a Discord bot that turns your server into a looking-for-group hub. Members say what they want to play and how many spots are open; the bot matches them with others, spins up a voice channel, and keeps it tidy when the session ends. The result is less "anyone wanna play?" noise and more games actually getting started.
What it does
- Looking For Group (LFG) — members post a squad for a game with the filters that matter (platform, squad size, mode, region, language). Others see it and join.
- Automated voice channels — the bot creates a voice channel for each squad, moves players in, enforces the player limit, and deletes the channel when everyone leaves.
- Discovery — optionally pings a role or DMs members when a squad matches what they play, so groups fill faster.
- Scheduling — members schedule a session for later in their own timezone, and the bot rounds everyone up when it's time.
- Moderation & reports — a private reports channel keeps admins informed, with configurable moderator roles.
Key concepts
Understanding these five terms makes the rest of the docs easy to follow:
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| LFG channel | A text channel you designate for a specific game. Members create squads from here. |
| Game | A title you enable on your server. Each game has its own set of LFG filters (options). |
| Squad | A group a member creates to look for players — "3 more for Ranked, EU, mic required." |
| Voice channel automation | The bot's creation, filling, and cleanup of voice channels tied to squads. |
| Discovery | Smart LFG Pings and Smart DM Recommendations that surface squads to interested members. |
Who this is for
These docs are written for server owners and admins setting up and running the bot on their community. Everything is configured inside Discord — there are no files to edit.
