When making a bot on Discord, you've probably ran into 2 libraries that looks really similar. In this article, I'll explain to you what are the differences with discord.py and nextcord.

Discord.py, the original library. Before the owner of the library discontinued the project, there was features with Alpha premade, but buggy due to Discord recent changes. When Rapptz (Aka Danny) came back to the project, that was when things started to be fixed.

Nextcord, a library that used to be a fork of Discord.py. Nextcord's idea or used to be the idea was to be the maintained fork of Danny's project right after they stopped developing Discord.py. When it was being continued, that was when Nextcord decided to part ways. The interactions with Discord.py is now a bit different to Discord.py, but the previous functions, objects, and classes is still the same.
