EphemeralLinksReuploader

A Discord bot that preserves ephemeral links by reuploading their content as permanent attachments

---

What it does

When a user posts an ephemeral link (e.g. from 4chan) in a Discord channel, the bot:

1. Detects the link automatically
2. Downloads and reuploads the content as a Discord attachment
3. Posts it as the original user via webhook — seamlessly, as if nothing happened

The content remains accessible even after the original source goes offline or expires.

---

Prerequisites

You'll need to create a Discord application and bot to get your token:

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal
2. Click New Application, give it a name, and save
3. Navigate to the Bot tab and click Add Bot
4. Under the bot's username, click Reset Token to reveal your DISCORD_TOKEN
5. Invite the bot to your server using the OAuth2 > URL Generator tab (select the bot scope and any required permissions)
