What’s up with Dank Memer?
Hello friends, welcome to my blog post
What’s going on?
Lately there have been some major bugs and common errors in the bot. These have been slow to be fixed, and that’s my bad. I’ve been on somewhat of a vacation for the last ~2 weeks, and I let things run their course a bit. Any errors you’re getting right now (that we know about) should be fixed by update 5.2 very soon. Speaking of updates…
Update 5.2 is near
Now that our new developers are getting their meme on, we’re firing full steam ahead on the next update. We’re planning on having most of it done in the first part of September. I can’t make any promises about this update, but I can tell you what we’re going to try to have done.
The thing you’ve all been waiting to hear about… The shop/sharing/upgrades update. Well, we aren’t sure that this is coming in this update yet. We’ve got a lot of planning to still do before it’s ready for public eyes, and we’re having some different ideas.

Also on the way, all new utility commands. I don’t know about you, but I love useful commands. The ability to disable whole categories at once should be here for the next update, as well as the ability to set a channel for the bot to post update announcements to. Dank Memer Premium v2 should be done, as well as some sweet new perks for our donors. Some QOL changes to the custom sfx commands should be on the way to, with the ability to add more clips, and for them to be larger. Don’t forget our favorite thing to throw at you… New image manipulation commands as well. There is much much much more planned, but we’ll leave a little to surprise you with… But you can take away most of the surprise if you want by seeing what we’re working on here: https://trello.com/b/gWGJVv3O
We upgraded our server
We moved from our dedicated host in France, to a host in New York. This means there will be mostly reduced latency to Discord API, a faster network, a faster CPU, and we’re saving a bit of money too.
For the most part, you’ll notice slightly faster response times but not much else. But just know that this means that our little dankie memey is happier now.
Conclusion
Bot is doing ok, Melmsie is back, bugs fixed soon, update soon, better performance now. Oh and we’re growing by almost 2,000 servers per day, so 400,000 server count soon!
