hikari VS VoxelBotUtils

Hikari | Docs | The only one that's not a fork. I find the docs miserable and they have a far fewer users than the others, so your only luck of finding help is in their support server.

I've been working on a help command for my Discord music bot which uses hikari and hikari-tanjun and it's been going fine so far but I added this part to my code and whenever you do /help , it's supposed to show help for that specific command, but it only responds with "Application did not respond" when I try it. I've tried removing the obj argument and removing the parentheses but it just keeps saying "Application did not respond" and I don't know what to do or how to fix it and there is no error. No one in the Hikari server helped when I asked multiple times, so can someone help?

Getting started is easy: check the [docs](https://hikari-py.dev/hikari), join the [server](https://discord.gg/hikari), and take a look at the [examples](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/blob/master/examples/).

I recommend try out Hikari (The Library) + Lightbulb (Command Handler Extension)

I have switched to Hikari + Lightbulb and I'm not looking back.

Pycord is a bad fork in my opinion. I recommend using discord.py until it's entirely dead and then switching to enhanced-discord.py (Or switching to it right now). You can get slash commands with discord.py using slash_util. You can also switch to a completely different Python Discord API wrapper, like hikari.

Could try Hikari: https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari it exists for a while already and is not just a fork of discord.py

Hikari is an alternative library as a whole, entirely uninvolved with the development of D.py. Moving to this would require at least a little structure rewriting.

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.

Firstly there's the fact that Dpy1.7 is still wholly functional. As long as Discord doesn't kill the v6 gateway then that version of Dpy is fine. You can add slash commands and components with third party libraries that already exist. Hell, I've been maintaining my own for months.
