Like BTTV, they have a Discord sync option via. a connections tab on their website.
Would it be possible to get something like this? So we can mass import all of our 7TV emotes to our Discord servers.

peepoHappy Thanks

We've looked into this in the past

#

but its completely unfeasable due to discords massive emoji uploading restrictions for third party applications

#

(around 5 per 30 seconds globally across servers)

#

If you're wondering how BTTV does it, well unfortunately its a bit of insider trading

#

Night BTTV's owner and only dev

#

worked for discord

#

for a short period

#

Ah fun lol

#

and gave his application exclusive access to these APIs

#

with no limit

I guess we just gotta use Tetra for now then?

heady violet
#

if that serves your purposes

#

but I beleive they are also subject

#

to the same limits

#

which is why you can only do one or two at a time

#

and not a global mass sync

#

Yeah ,you can only import 1 at a time.

#

also on top of this

#

many emotes are too large for discord

#

discord's emoji format is limited to unoptimized gifs

#

and on top of that only 256kb max size

#

which many 7tv emotes simply can not fit into, when converted into a format from 1989, with 0 compression (since this completely breaks discords image processor)

#

its just been made almost completely unfeasable

Fair enough. Honestly, thank you for the breakdown. ❤️
