Discord just launched the new "Active Developer" badge and they're encouraging new developers to join the community and get it. If you're still learning and want the badge, follow the instructions below!
- Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications, and create a new application on the account you want the badge on.
- Go to the bot tab and generate a bot account for the application.
- Click the "Reset Token" button to generate a token (if you have 2fa enabled, you'll need your code).
- Copy the token to your clipboard.
- Click this badge to clone this repo to a new repl in Replit ->

- You will be redirected to Replit, you might have to create an account (you can Register with Google).
- Wait for the repo has finished cloning and the repl to fully connect.
- Click the green "Run" button at the top.

- Wait for it to print 'DONE | Application/Bot is up and running. DO NOT CLOSE THIS TAB UNLESS YOU ARE FINISHED USING THE BOT, IT WILL PUT THE BOT OFFLINE.' in the console, DON'T STOP THE PROGRAM OR CLOSE THE TAB YET OR THE BOT WILL CONSIDERED BY DISCORD AS 'UNRESPONSIVE'
- Go back to the application page, go to the "General Information" tab, scroll down and copy application id.

- Copy the application id.
- Use this invite link to add the application to the server: (replace
{applicationid}with what you copied)https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={applicationid}&scope=bot%20applications.commands&permissions=105227086912 - In the server, go to a channel and use the
/pingcommand on the bot. - Go to the https://discord.com/developers/active-developer page and register everything (if it says you're not eligible, it's because you're not registered in their system yet. you might have to wait up to 24 hours).
- Congrats on that shiny new badge.
NOTE: Make sure you have the “Use data to improve Discord” setting enabled under User Settings > Privacy & Safety otherwise you won't be able to be marked as eligible.
NOTE 2: You do not need to keep the Replit tab open 24/7. Only go to the Replit url whenever you want to run your bot.
If you're encountering any issues, create a new GitHub issue or join this server and ping me in the #general channel.
If you were able to successfully get the badge from this, star this repository so more people can see it and feel free to join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/M5MSE9CvNM
I've seen a lot of people say that this method has been patched or something. It's not. It still works (people are still getting the badge from it), if you're unable to get the badge after 24 hours of waiting, you probably didn't follow the instructions correctly.
I think people think this is patched because of NoTextToSpeech's video but that video linked to another repository that works a different way, not this one.
