Every LFG Hub update, newest first. Announcements are also posted on our Discord server.

November 2026

Plans

Finding a group stays free for every server, at any size. Sticky Guide look and voice channel names are free too.

  • Server Plus, for a whole server: Bot look, advanced voice channel controls, music with no limit, private group chats and unlimited repeating groups.
  • Premium, for one player on any server: advanced voice channel controls, music with no limit, private group chats and unlimited repeating groups.
  • One repeating group per server is free for everyone.

For server owners

  • Where groups are hosted: temporary voice channels, your own voice channels, a group chat, or any mix, for each LFG channel.
  • Discord server events: groups scheduled 3+ hours ahead can post one. Pressing Interested joins the group.
  • Smart LFG Ping and DM recommendations now count roles mapped to Language, Region, Platform or Age.
  • The Sticky Guide now waits for 5 minutes of quiet before moving, by default.

October 2026

For server owners

  • /analytics: groups, players and busiest times, also on the dashboard, with monthly reports in your reports channel.
  • Give each LFG channel its own Sticky Guide look on the dashboard.
  • /setup-ai-assistant: ask the AI assistant to set up the bot, right in Discord.
  • Suggested setup: new servers get channels, voice rooms and language in the welcome DM, set up with one press.

Harder to raid

The bot no longer keeps invites to your server and removes the permanent ones it made, so there is no link of ours to leak or share.

  • A player signed in on lfghub.gg is added directly, with no invite.
  • Otherwise the bot makes a temporary invite only that player can use, once, within 3 hours.

For players

  • Find Group: a Sticky Guide button for players who want a group.
  • Players & Teams: a new tab on the Network for long-term teammates.
  • Music: press Play Musicin your group's voice channel for songs, playlists and endless mixes. Free for the first 15 minutes each time it starts.
  • Repeating groups: a group that comes back on the days you pick, under Playing later.
  • /friends lists your friends and friend requests. /group-control-panellinks your group's panel from anywhere.
  • Contact: a clearer DM, a DM when the other side answers, and Not interested for owners.

Make the bot your own

Set it up on the dashboard under Bot customization. Bot look comes with Server Plus; the others are free:

  • Bot look: the bot's own name, avatar, banner, About me and color in your server.
  • Sticky Guide look: your own text, images and buttons on the Sticky Guide.
  • Voice channel names: name group voice channels your way.

Teams

LFG channels now help find long-term players and form teams. Turn them on in /setup-lfg-channel → Post types, or on the dashboard.

  • Team looking for players: recruit for your team or clan. Players press Apply.
  • Player looking for a team: share your rank, role and schedule. Teams press Contact.

AI dashboard assistant

Ask the assistant on the dashboard: it configures the bot for you (you approve each change), shows where every setting is, and passes messages to our team.

Groups

  • Unlimited group size: the group takes everyone who joins.
  • Scheduled groups DM a reminder at a time each member picks.
  • DM recommendations improved, with less spam.

Web dashboard

Set up your server in the browser at lfghub.gg/dashboard: sign in with Discord, pick a server and edit every LFG channel with a live preview of the LFG guide and the group cards the bot posts. It's in every language the bot speaks, and the Dashboard button in /setup and /setup-lfg-channel opens it.

Role seats

A group can cap how many players fill each role — 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 3 DPS — and the seats it doesn't count stay open to anyone.

  • A waitlist when a role is full, and extras listed when they join voice anyway.
  • Presets for common group setups, so owners pick a layout in one go.
  • Live for World of Warcraft, Aion 2 and Overwatch, with each game's role icons.
  • The group's open seats show in its voice channel status.

Friends and gamertags

  • Add groupmates as friends from User actions or the after-game message. Friends hold on every server, and Invite friends lists them first.
  • Save your BattleTag, Riot ID, Epic name and others once in Edit my profile. The right one is shared when you join a group for that game.

Creating groups

  • Open to Join is now Open to Play on game channels, with /open-to-play.
  • Pick a start time in one tap: Playing now, In 30 minutes, In 1 hour, In 2 hours, Tonight, or Playing later for an exact scheduled time.
  • A group in voice follows the game its owner starts playing until it searches. Change Activity switches it any time.
  • Search for players on a full group grows it to the next size instead of refusing.
  • Join to Create Group voice: a room for playing with friends that only searches when you ask.
  • On an Any Game channel, the game picker lists your own games first, and Browse more filters adds the game's own filters, such as Rank or Mode.

Smart LFG Ping

Each group gets its own ping role, made when it pings and removed when it ends, so no standing roles sit in your role list. It's on for new LFG channels and goes out when the owner presses Send Ping.

For admins

  • Choose which of your voice channels become group rooms, or turn it off, in Voice Channel Settings. Other bots' temporary channels stay out.
  • An LFG channel set to one language speaks it: guide, panels and voice channel names.
  • Edit any LFG channel from anywhere, and turn one off from its panel.
  • Pick an existing category for group voice channels.
  • New servers start with groups opting in to the LFG Network one by one.

Moderation

  • Every report gets a thread for your moderators, with messages to the reporter and players.
  • Claim a report like a ticket, so two moderators don't work the same case.
  • Right-click a member → Moderation record for their history.
  • Help and a single Lock / Unlock in Group Moderation.

Also new

  • lfghub.gg in 30 languages, with hand-written LFG pages for popular games.
  • Voice is a multi-select filter: Discord voice, In-game voice, No voice.

September 2026

LFG channel settings

In /setup-lfg-channel → Edit:

  • Separate LFG guide channel — post the guide and its buttons in their own channel, apart from the groups. Several LFG channels can share one guide channel.
  • Move guide to bottom— instantly, every 3 messages, or after 2 / 5 / 10 minutes of quiet, so it doesn't break up your chat.
  • Messages as group posts — turn every message into a group post, only messages from players in a voice channel, or never.
  • Finish at any step of the setup.

Any Game channel

No need to add every new game by hand. Set Any Game on an LFG channel and players name the game when they create a group, or pick Decide later. Once picked, the group is on the LFG Network like any other game.

One-press joins from lfghub.gg

Players sign in with Discord on the LFG Network page and land in your server and the group in one click. Each join shows in your reports channel.

Group owners

  • A ban follows the player, not the group — they can't join that owner's future groups.
  • Hide a group from the LFG Network in Group Moderation. NSFW groups stay off it.
  • Schedule up to 7 days ahead, and Close Group when done.

Also new

  • Group cards redesigned: filters show as labels with icons.
  • Smoother repeat group creation and Open to Join from the LFG guide.

August 2026

LFG Channel Introduction

When nobody is searching, a player who launches the game gets a one-time DM introducing your LFG channel, so a quiet channel gets its first group going. It's never sent twice, and never to someone who has already used LFG on your server.

  • On by default, and uses your DM recommendations role if you set one.
  • Sent in your server's language.
  • Test it, turn it on or off, and see how many players it introduced and how many went on to use LFG in /setup-lfg-channel → Edit → DM Recommendations.

LFG Network

Groups and Open to Join players are live on the LFG Network. Groups stay hosted on your server and are recommended to matching players across the network. Turn it on in /setup-lfg-channel → Edit → Server Settings → Enable LFG Network.

Your own games, filters and options

Right from /setup-lfg-channel:

  • Add any game from the community game directory — including sandbox modes such as Roblox RP, Zombies or Modded.
  • Create your own filters (Mode, Rank, Playstyle…) and their options.
  • Filters that other servers adopt rise in the directory and match across the network.

Moderation tools

  • Report a player, not just a post — with a reason, details and the group chat transcript attached automatically.
  • The mod card shows the player's full record, with Warn or Restrict from LFG Bot.
  • /lookup, /case and /pardon to review records and lift restrictions.

More on LFG moderation.

Also new

  • Rename the Smart LFG Ping role — it keeps working under the new name.
  • Cap how many games a multi-game LFG guide lists before it says "and X more".
  • Edit a group voice channel's user limit from Voice Moderation.
  • Groups start in the voice channel their owner is already in when they use Create Group or /lfg.
  • Group threads are public by default (private is optional).
  • Faster group creation, a cleaner LFG guide, short game names in voice channels.
  • Edit / Stop controls in DMs for every Open to Join.
  • Fixed: LFG ping delivery, "Custom Size" group size, finished groups left searching, stale group cards.

July 2026

Slash commands

LFG works from anywhere. Group posts go to the right LFG channel, and players can only LFG for the games the server owner selected.

  • /lfg (alias /create-group) — create a group to play now.
  • /lfg-schedule (alias /create-group-schedule) — plan a session up to 24 hours ahead.
  • /open-to-join — mark yourself 🙋‍♂️ Open to Join.
  • /help and /feedback — get guidance, or send a bug report with a screenshot.

Smart LFG Ping is back

  • Use your server's own opt-in LFG role, or turn role pings off entirely.
  • Switch between Auto-ping (default) and Manual ping, where group owners get a Send Ping button in their control panel.

Also new

  • Reserved slots — group owners reserve blank slots from Group Moderation for friends still loading in.
  • Contact opens a temporary private thread between two players, removed after 30 minutes of inactivity.
  • Customisable voice channel name pattern.
  • Redesigned schedule modal with a timezone dropdown.
  • Documentation for server owners.
  • Stability fixes.

June 2026

Discord approved LFG Hub for privileged intents — the 100-server limit is gone and every feature is back at full capacity.

  • Context-Aware Group Discovery is back for players who launch the game.
  • The LFG guide has two buttons again: an upgraded Looking for Group and Create Group.
  • Players who are 🙋‍♂️ Looking for Group can be grouped up by others via a voice channel or a private group chat on your server.
  • Matching players who are Looking for Group get invited by DM, so they don't have to watch the LFG channel, and similar players are grouped up with each other.

May 2026

Multiple games in one LFG channel

One LFG channel can now serve several games — the most requested feature from server owners.

Simpler LFG flow

  • One Looking for Group button replaces the separate Create Group, Open to Join and Schedule buttons.
  • The player picks their filters and gets their own group thread, with suggestions of other groups on your server.
  • Other members discover and join the group; once it's formed they can create a voice channel.
  • Group owners have full moderation (kick / ban) from the thread and can schedule the group for later, with reminders.
  • The voice creator is unchanged.

February 2026

  • 📆 Scheduled groups — players can schedule groups on your server.
  • 🔔 Player-facing Notification Settings in your LFG channel.
  • 🔔 Smart DM Recommendations renamed to Game Launch Alert: pick which role it applies to, and trigger one yourself to preview the DM.
  • 🔗 Link server roles to LFG options, so Game Launch Alerts and Smart LFG Ping reach relevant players who haven't used LFG yet.
  • 🔊 Static voice channels revert to their original name and state after players finish.
  • ↕️ Searching and All Groups categories for big servers.
  • 🛠️ Faster game search in /setup-lfg-channel.
  • 🗑️ The LFG guide can no longer be hidden, so LFG stays easy to find on every server.

LFG Hub reached Discord's 100-server limit for unverified bots this month. It was lifted in June 2026.

January 2026

Voice channel controls

  • 🔒 Lock / Unlock in Voice Moderation.
  • 🦶 Kick and 🛑 Ban are separate buttons.
  • ⚡️ Premium host features: 👑 Transfer Ownership and 👥 Unlock User Limit. Get them for 7 days by upvoting the bot on top.gg. Basic LFG and voice moderation stay free.

Also new

  • 👍 Likes are back — no longer interrupting players mid-game, and liking the same player several times counts once.
  • 🗑️ Option to auto-remove completed group posts and expired Open to Join posts from the LFG channel.
  • 🙋‍♂️ Open to Join works on big servers with several LFG channels per game.
  • 📩 Smart DM Recommendations renamed to Context-Aware Group Discovery, with support for several LFG channels. Players can opt out any time with the 🔕 button.

In 2025 the LFG Network grew from one server to 60+, with support for any game, any LFG channel structure and almost any language.

December 2025

Voice channel controls

  • ⚙️ Change LFG settings from the voice channelin a few clicks. Changes are saved as the player's preference for their next game.
  • The control panel stays in place — less spam in the voice chat.
  • ✍️ The extra note shows in the status bar under the voice name and updates instantly, since Discord allows only 2 channel name changes per 10 minutes.
  • ⏱️ When Discord rate-limits a name change, the bot schedules it instead of asking you to try again, unlike other voice bots.

September 2025

  • 🌐 LFG Network moderation — servers are reviewed before they join the network.
  • 💬 Contact button — pings the owner of an LFG post to check the thread.

August 2025

  • 🔊 Joining the voice creator creates an LFG thread and starts searching automatically.
  • Search for Duo, Trio or Full Squad.

July 2025

  • 💬 Threads for every LFG — no more DMs, whether you play with in-game or Discord voice.
  • 🌐 LFG Network — your LFG is shared across a network of servers, not just your own (without pinging them).

January 2025

  • 🎮 Multiple games — Marvel Rivals, Delta Force and Path of Exile 2 join Helldivers 2.
  • 👋 Available to join squad — show your intent and get notified when someone starts a squad.
