Bond vs BuildMyDiscord
BuildMyDiscord is a website first. You describe the server you want, it generates the structure, and a chat editor keeps changing that draft afterwards, in any of a dozen interface languages. The finished layout then goes into Discord.
We build Bond. Everything below about BuildMyDiscord comes from its own public pages.
What BuildMyDiscord is known for
Generating a server from a written description, configured in its own interface and switched on per feature.
What Bond does differently
There is nothing to import with Bond. It works on the live server from inside Discord, so what you are editing is the real thing, with the members, permissions and history already on it. Bond has no template gallery either: if you want to browse ready-made servers and pick one, it is the wrong tool.
One sentence, instead of the panels.
@Bond Rename the old event channels, archive the ones that finished, and move the rest under Community
When to stay on BuildMyDiscord.
Stick with BuildMyDiscord if you would rather lay a server out on a website and import it than describe the changes inside Discord.
It is good at generating a server from a written description, and there is no prize for switching a tool you are happy with. Add Bond for the jobs BuildMyDiscord does not cover, and leave the rest where it is.
And if you do switch, in three moves.
Both bots can run at once. There is no import step and nothing to migrate.
Add Bond alongside
BuildMyDiscord keeps doing exactly what it does today. Bond joins without touching a single existing setting.
Move one thing across
Pick the part you like least. Describe what it does to Bond, approve the changes, and watch it run for a week.
Turn the old one off
Only once the new one has run. Repeat for the next part, or stop here and keep both.
Try Bond on one thing this week.
Free to start, and nothing you have set up in BuildMyDiscord changes when you add it.
