So i want that the bot @ the user he is talking to because ${member} (i saw that on youtube) doesnt work and so i want to ask what i have to write so that he writes "Hello @(the users name)..." remember please he is writing that as a dm.

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { prefix, token } = require('./config.json');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('This Bot is online!');
})

client.login(token);

client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
    member.send('Hello ${member}, welcome to the PotatoHost Server!');
});

The problem isn`t with the member, is with the client.login(), it should always be at the end if the code!

I hope this will help you. have a great day!

Edit:Also, some members have locked dm's, so you should use a try-catch function, and if you got an err send the welcome message in the chat.

A try-catch function works like that:

try{
member.send("message here")
}catch(error){
member.guild.channels.get("here the Id of the channel you want to send the welcome message in").send("message here")
}

if you don't like the idea of sending the message in a channel in your server just put instead:

console.log(error)

I had the same problem then I started, this should help you solve the problem:

client.on("guildMemberAdd", async member => {
const dmErr = false;
try {
await member.send()
} catch (error) {
dmErr = true;
} if (dmErr === true) {
member.guild.channels.get("Id of the channel here").send()
}
});
