[Bug]: MessageUpdate not showing old message content when bot is rebooted about discord.net HOT 7 CLOSED

Ah. Well we don't do that because it's extremely easy to get ratelimited this way. We don't think the lib should silently do such
a thing (that also might be unnecessary for some users) so we leave this up to the user.

from discord.net.

That is not a bug.
And no, it's not possible to fetch the old message data after it's been updated. The only way to achieve this - have a local cache of messages; dnet does exactly that, it stores N messages for each channel to in-ram cache (the N amount is configured in the DiscordSocketConfig by setting the MessageCacheSize). And since it's stored in the ram - it is cleared upon bot restarts.

Thats why Discord.JS can do it :) Even on a bot restart when the cache is cleared.
Kinda weird that this is the ONLY library that cant do it.

Tried DSharpPlus and there it works, so its clearly an issue in this library
Even Discord Devs confirmed its possible

from discord.net.

I'm not aware how other libraries implement caching.
Could you quote or at least name the "Discord Dev" who told you it is possible so I could contact them about this?

I guess they build it in there library, something Discord.Net does not have it seems, what is weird :)
Anyway builded my own cache to fetch messages on ShardReady and this solves it.

Will look for the quote

from discord.net.

I understand that, however we have a strong need of this due to the size of the community and what the bot should do for us.
I keep the message size low and see how it affects

Then make your own cache? Use redis?
