Edgar the bot#6529 Online
Ignoring exception in on_member_join
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 333, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "c:/Users/me/Files/Discord server (IMP)/Edgar the bot/Main.py", line 34, in on_member_join
    user = ctx.author
AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'author'

it works well when i do:

@bot.command(description="Display the example welcome embed", aliases=['tw'])
async def on_member_join(ctx):
    user = ctx.author
    if not user.bot:
        server = ctx.guild
        now = datetime.now()
        dt_string = now.strftime("on %d/%m/%Y at %H:%M")
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"",
            description=f"{user.mention} **Joined The Server**",
            colour=0x73D673,
            )
        embed.set_author(name=f"{user}", icon_url=f"{user.avatar_url}")
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=user.avatar_url)
        embed.add_field(name="User id:", value=f"{user.id}")
        embed.set_footer(text=f"{dt_string}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        pass

why doesn't it work when it is an event like this:

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(ctx):
    user = ctx.author
    if not user.bot:
        server = ctx.guild
        now = datetime.now()
        dt_string = now.strftime("on %d/%m/%Y at %H:%M")
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"",
            description=f"{user.mention} **Joined The Server**",
            colour=0x73D673,
            )
        embed.set_author(name=f"{user}", icon_url=f"{user.avatar_url}")
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=user.avatar_url)
        embed.add_field(name="User id:", value=f"{user.id}")
        embed.set_footer(text=f"{dt_string}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        pass

You mean i should do smtg like dis

async def on_member_join(ctx, member):
    if not member.bot:
        server = ctx.guild
        now = datetime.now()
        dt_string = now.strftime("on %d/%m/%Y at %H:%M")
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"",
            description=f"{member.mention} **Joined The Server**",
            colour=0x73D673,
            )
        embed.set_author(name=f"{member}", icon_url=f"{member.avatar_url}")
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
        embed.add_field(name="member id:", value=f"{member.id}")
        embed.set_footer(text=f"{dt_string}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        pass

It did not work (why do I have so many doubts)
TypeError: on_member_join() missing 1 required positional argument: 'member'

It looks like you don't know much about python, maybe it's worth improving the basics?
Once again, take a close look at the screenshot from the documentation

This is not an issue with discord.py.
GitHub issues for this repository should be used to report issues with this library.
They are not a medium for requesting help with Python.
For further help specific to using this library, you should join either the official discord.py server or the Discord API server, as the README also links.
