If your Discord live tile says Offline even though Discord shows you online, the most common cause is that you’re not in the Biolovers Discord server.

​
Why being in our server matters

Discord’s API only exposes presence data to bots that share a server with you. The Biolovers presence bot listens for the guildMemberUpdate / presence gateway events from every server it’s in — easiest of which to join is the Biolovers community Discord. If you don’t share any server with the bot, it literally can’t see your status — Discord refuses to tell it. (There’s no Lanyard relay in the loop — the bot pushes presence to your profile directly.)

​
Fix it

  1. Join the Biolovers Discord: biolovers.site/discord.
  2. Wait ~1 minute.
  3. Reload your profile page in another tab — your live tile should flip to your real status.
You don’t have to chat or do anything in the server — just be a member.

Other things to check

  • Linked the right Discord account? Open the Discord & Telegram panel and confirm the username shown matches your actual Discord.
  • “Show presence” toggle on? Same panel.
  • Discord set to Invisible? Invisible mode shows as Offline to everyone, including our bot. Set yourself to Online / Idle / DND.
  • Custom status with no game/Spotify? That’s normal — it’ll show your custom status text and the green dot.

​
Can I see presence without joining?

Not for live data. The card will show your last cached status (if any), but won’t update.
