Add a way to get a random guild member.

[Koyamie]

Hello, this is an idea I came up after migrating some of my commands to slash commands.

I am using webhooks interactions and do not have a cache to works with and some of my commands provide a "random" option to pick up a random guild member (often related to social interactions and fun commands).

Could it be possible to have a parameter when fetching/listing/searching guild members so that we can retrieve a random one?

Thanks

I honestly don't really see this becoming a feature, however if I may give a suggestion:

I think your best way of achieving this would be to pick a random date between when the guild was created and the current date, using that to generate a (nonexistent) user ID and then using that in the fetch guild members endpoint as either a 'before' or 'after' option. It's not perfect (especially for guilds with growth spikes) but I suspect it's the closest you'll be able to get without fetching the entire member list.

Most guilds have members that created an account before the guild was created

No idea how I missed that. My bad. Disregard my suggestion haha

Still could work with the Discord creation date timestamp. Appreciate your suggestion!
