msgmover is a cog for the self-hosted Red-DiscordBot, with msgcopy, msgrelay, threads in beta, and no forum support yet. Pippin is a hosted bot. Right-click, then Apps, then Move, and it moves messages, threads, forum posts, and private threads, keeping the author name, avatar, media, and reactions.
msgmover is a cog for Red-DiscordBot. msgcopy copies a set of messages. msgrelay keeps forwarding new ones, including to another server. It is maintained by coffeebank, and the docs are at coffeebank.github.io/coffee-cogs/msgmover. Checked 16 October 2026.
You already run Red, or you need a continuous relay, or you need to mirror messages across servers. Pippin does not relay new messages as they are posted, and its docs do not describe cross-server moves.
You want a hosted bot, no Red process to run, forum posts, private threads, and a guided wizard. Pippin also recreates emoji reactions, which msgmover's docs list as not supported yet.
Step by step
Use Add to Discord. You do not install Red or a cog.
Start on the first message you want to move. Pick a channel, thread, forum post, or private thread.
This message, a preset, everything below, or a custom amount up to 200. Author name, avatar, media, and reactions stay with the messages.
How Pippin helps
Both tools use webhooks. Pippin keeps the author's name and avatar, and also media and emoji reactions.
msgmover's docs say forums are not supported yet. Pippin moves a forum post to another forum, a thread, or a channel.
A Pippin move only pings members who were @mentioned in the original message bodies. Otherwise no one is pinged.
msgrelay keeps copying new messages. Pippin moves the messages you choose, then stops.
msgmover is a real cog with copy and relay, cross-server forwarding, and a public source repo. This page is not a claim that it is abandoned.
The msgmover docs, updated note dated 2026-06-13, say sending to threads is in beta and forums are not supported yet.
Moveer moves people between voice channels, which is a different job from moving messages. The msgmover docs are the source for the msgmover column.

msgmover is a cog for the self-hosted Red-DiscordBot. It has msgcopy, which copies a set of messages, and msgrelay, which keeps forwarding new messages. It uses webhooks so usernames and profile pictures are copied. Its docs say sending to threads is in beta, and that forums and reactions are not supported yet.
msgmover is not a hosted invite-and-go bot. You run Red, add the coffee-cogs repo, and install the cog. Pippin is the hosted bot you can add to a server, then use with right-click → Apps → Move.
It is a tool that takes messages from one Discord channel and puts them in another. msgmover does that as a self-hosted cog, including a continuous relay. Pippin does it as a guided move of the messages you select, including into threads, forum posts, and private threads.
Only members who were @mentioned in the original message bodies get pinged. Otherwise no one is pinged.
