Use the fewest bots that cover the jobs your community actually has.
Every extra bot adds permissions, duplicate welcomes and noise. Limzo covers protection, analytics and engagement from one admin slot, so most groups need one bot, not three.
One-bot stack: Limzo
Verification, anti-spam, raid protection, a fake-admin guard, analytics, levels, achievements and weekly highlights. The setup most groups need.
Switching stack: Limzo replaces the old bot
Run Limzo next to your current moderation bot for a week, then switch off the modules Limzo now covers.
Paid-community stack: Limzo plus an access tool
If membership is paid, add a subscription-access bot for payments. Limzo keeps protection and engagement.
Three practical Telegram bot stacks
1. The one-bot stack: Limzo only. Best for almost every community. Limzo runs protection from smart defaults (newcomer verification, scam and promo removal, a link safety scan, flood control, /warn warnings with automatic enforcement, raid protection, a fake-admin impersonator guard, an optional language lock and a cross-group network shield) and turns activity into analytics, quality-based karma, levels, achievements, weekly highlights and public stats, without filling the admin list with bots.
2. The switching stack: Limzo next to your current bot. Already using Rose, Combot or another moderation bot? Add Limzo and let both run for one weekly cycle. Once Limzo is covering verification, spam, stats and levels, switch off the old bot’s duplicate captcha, welcome and reputation modules, or remove it.
3. The paid-community stack: Limzo plus an access tool. If members pay to join, a subscription-access bot handles payments and removes people whose subscription ends. Limzo stays in charge of protection, recognition and the weekly recap.
Prevent bot overlap before it becomes noise
Write down one owner for each responsibility: newcomer verification, moderation, welcomes, analytics, reputation, levels, weekly reports and paid access. With Limzo in the group, it owns all of them except paid access. If two bots own the same job, members see duplicate messages while admins maintain conflicting settings, so switch the duplicate off.
Review bot permissions too. Grant only the rights each tool needs, and document who can change settings.
