Answer 1

First, make sure your bot has members intent enabled in the developer portal

Enable intents in the code, and pass them in your bot/client with the intents kwarg.

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

"If your bot tracks presence data, you may need the presence intent to receive presence event data." - Discord Developer Portal

You can find more about intents or privileged intents at Privileged Intents - Discord & A Primer to Gateway Intents - Discord.py
