One of the funny things about bots is that, if they’re doing their job well, nobody really notices them. They just keep tipping, keep rewarding people and quietly do their thing in the background.

That doesn’t mean they stand still though.

Over the last weeks we’ve been adding quite a few new features to the entire MMB family (@mmbbot, @indeedly, @hopelizer, @weirdly, @thestrider and @zombiebot), and I figured it was about time to give everyone a small overview.

🎰 Every tip can now win you tokens

Probably the biggest addition is the new raffle system.

Every valid tip you send automatically becomes a raffle ticket. A few times every day one of those tips gets picked, and the winner receives a random prize from one (or more…) of our community tokens.

Most prizes are small. Every now and then somebody hits the bigger jackpot and walks away with a nice collection of MMB, IDD, HOP, WRD, STR and BRN.

No extra commands, no registration, nothing to remember. Just keep tipping like you normally would.

📊 Check your own statistics

Want to know how you’re doing?

Simply reply with:

!MMB stats

(or !MMB status)

The bot will send you a memo showing:

your current level
your daily tip allowance
how many tips you’ve already used today
your lifetime tips sent
your lifetime tips received

And yes… it still tips the author while doing all that.

If you don’t meet the requirements yet, it’ll also tell you exactly what you’re missing.

(The same command exists for all the other bots too.)

🏅 Milestones deserve a little celebration

Sending tips has always been about supporting each other.

Now the bots celebrate that as well.

Whenever you reach milestones like 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 tips sent or received, you’ll get a small congratulations memo.

Nothing life changing.

Just a little “thanks for being here.”

📈 Weekly reports became a lot more interesting

The weekly summaries also received some attention.

They’re now freshly written every week, include charts with the top tippers and top recipients…

…and perhaps the nicest part:

80% of the post rewards go straight to that week’s number one tipper.

Being generous has always felt good.

Now it occasionally pays as well.

Running several tipping bots, keeping them maintained and adding new features takes time (servers also have the annoying habit of insisting on being paid every month).

If you’d like to support what we’re building, a witness vote is probably the biggest help you can give.
