Best discord.py alternative?
2 projects | /r/Discord_Bots | 2 Sep 2021

Sure! Here's the GitHub Repo and a changelog (summarized, full) since Discord.py announced the shut-down. It's very close to Discord.py since it's a direct extension, has support for components and interactions (buttons, context commands, dropdowns, slash commands), thread support. The development server is discord.gg/vfl and the maintainer of this fork is Kae#0004 (the creator of MarriageBot, Flower, and more).
D.py alternatives?
4 projects | /r/Discord_Bots | 31 Aug 2021

Novus is a D.py fork that I'm maintaining myself, adding slash and context command support and more as an extension beyond Danny's fork. I have changed the entire UI system from Danny's, but all is documented properly. In addition I also maintain VoxelBotUtils which is meant to streamline bot development.
