How to Add Your Discord Bot to dlist.space — Step-by-Step Guide

Listing your Discord bot on dlist.space is one of the best decisions you can make for your bot's growth. Our platform connects thousands of Discord server owners with the bots they need every single day. This guide walks you through the entire bot submission process from start to finish.

Requirements Before Submitting

Before you submit your bot, make sure it meets these basic requirements:

Your bot must be online and responding when submitted for review
Your bot must have a valid Discord bot token and be running 24/7 (or close to it)
Your bot must comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines
Your bot must not be a clone of another bot with no unique features
Your bot must not promote hate speech, illegal content, or NSFW content in non-NSFW contexts
Your bot must have a short description of at least 90 characters
Your bot must have a detailed description of at least 200 characters

Step 1: Log In to dlist.space

Visit dlist.space and click the Login button in the top-right corner. Log in using your Discord account through OAuth2. dlist.space uses Discord OAuth for authentication, so you do not need to create a separate account.

Step 2: Click "Add a Bot"

Once logged in, click the Add button in the top navigation bar and select "Add a Bot". Alternatively, you can visit dlist.space/bot/new directly.

Step 3: Enter Your Bot's ID

You will be asked to enter your bot's Discord Application ID (also called Client ID or Bot ID). You can find this in the Discord Developer Portal under your application's General Information page.

Enter the ID and click Continue. dlist.space will automatically fetch your bot's name, avatar, and basic information from Discord's API.

Step 4: Fill in the Bot Details

Now fill in all required information about your bot:

Short Description

Write a concise summary of what your bot does (minimum 90 characters). This is shown on bot cards in search results. Make it compelling and keyword-rich so users understand your bot's value immediately.

Detailed Description

Write a thorough description of all your bot's features (minimum 200 characters). Include:

Main features and commands
What makes your bot unique
Setup instructions
Support server link
Any premium features if applicable

Prefix

Enter your bot's command prefix (e.g., !, /, ?, .). If your bot uses only slash commands, enter /.

Invite URL

Enter the OAuth2 invite URL for your bot. Generate this from the Discord Developer Portal under OAuth2 → URL Generator. Make sure the invite link includes the correct permissions for your bot to function properly.

Additional Links (Optional)

You can also add:

Website URL
Support Discord server invite
GitHub repository
Twitter/X profile
Terms of Service URL
Privacy Policy URL

Step 5: Add Co-Developers (Optional)

If your bot was built with multiple developers, you can add their Discord user IDs as co-developers. Co-developers can access the bot's edit page and manage it on dlist.space. You can add up to 4 total developers.

Step 6: Submit for Review

Once all required fields are filled in, click Submit for Review. Your bot will enter a review queue where our moderation team will check that it meets all requirements.

During review, our team will:

Verify the bot is online and functional
Check that the description accurately represents the bot's features
Ensure the bot complies with Discord's ToS
Test basic commands

How Long Does Review Take?

Bot review typically takes 24 to 72 hours depending on the review queue. You will receive a Discord DM notification when your bot is approved or if any changes are requested. Make sure your bot is running during the review period.

Tips to Get Approved Faster

Make sure your bot is online when submitted
Write a detailed, accurate description — vague descriptions often require revision
Provide a working invite link with proper permissions
Select accurate tags — don't use tags that don't apply to your bot
Add a banner image to make your listing more appealing
Include a support server link so reviewers know you are reachable

After Approval: Optimize Your Listing

Once your bot is approved, you can access the Bot Edit Page from your dashboard to:

Update your description and banner
Add webhook integration to receive vote notifications
View your bot's API token for posting stats
Add commands to your commands list
Add FAQ entries to help users
Apply for certification once eligible

Posting Bot Stats

Use the dlist.space API to automatically update your bot's server count. Post your stats using your bot's API token:

POST https://api.dlist.space/api/bot/YOUR_BOT_ID/stats
Authorization: Bot YOUR_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

{ "servers": 1000, "users": 50000, "shards": 4 }

Conclusion

Listing your Discord bot on dlist.space is quick, free, and one of the best ways to grow your user base. Follow the steps above, keep your listing optimized, and encourage your users to vote for your bot regularly to climb the rankings.
