#

const memberCount = interaction.guild.members.filter(member => !member.user.bot).size;
```this apparently isn't a function, so how do I filter out the bots when getting the member count?

members**.cache**.filter

If you fetched all members before

safe blaze members**.cache**.filter

this is only showing 1 when it should show 3.

<Guild>.members.fetch() and wait for the promise to resolve

const guildMembers = interaction.guild.members.fetch();
const memberCount = guildMembers.filter(member => !member.user.bot).size;
```I guess I'm lost. I did that, but it's telling me it's not a function...

and wait for the promise to resolve

Fetch returns a Promise

Don’t search for code involving those two words. Actually learn how they work/what they are. Else you‘ll be lost within djs, as 80% of its methods are promise based

ok. I've pinned the tab for the js info link you gave. I'll read over it after work. thank you
