Question for discord.py devs out there

Trojanfile · Jan 25, 2022

Hey people that are developers out there. I am having some trouble with my discord bot displaying the status but refreshing each time a new member joins.

If you're able to help a homie out, would be extra cool.

Here is my code:


import datetime
import discord;
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get
import asyncio

intents = discord.Intents().all()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', intents=intents)

#Bot Status 
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    servers = len(client.guilds)
    members = 0
    for guild in client.guilds:
        members += guild.member_count - 1

    await client.change_presence(activity = discord.Activity(
        type = discord.ActivityType.watching,
        name = f' {members} members!'
    ))

I am a DiscordJS dev but it is kinda the same concept, you need to put it into the member join event, otherwise the status message only happens when the "ready" event is fired.

I am not sure of the current situation, but isn't d.py not maintained anymore? I used to make bots in it for 2 years and quit because of the main developer quitting. Also, there's an on_member_join() event for your purpose (for reference https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_member_join#discord.on_member_join)

EDIT: Maybe next time upload your code to something like pastebin or something so it's cleaner and actually has indentation.
