welcoming new members, member has no attribute 'server'

I am writing this bit that sends a message in a specific channel in a specific guild when a new member joins:

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = get(member.server.channels, id=464298877823221763)
    await c.send(channel,"welcome")

I am getting weird errors when a new member joins:

Ignoring exception in on_member_join
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 312, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "d:/Documents/Bots/DS BOT/self_bot.py", line 53, in on_member_join
    channel = get(member.server.channels, id=464298877823221763)
AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'serve

Does anyone know how to solve this error?

It's not server, but it's rather guild, you can try this code.

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(channel-id)
    await channel.send(f"Welcome to {member.guild.name}!")

if you want to send where ever the member joins you can just do

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.channel.send(f"Welcome to {member.guild.name}!")

Check out guild documentation and the member documentation or the user documentation

Note. Sometime reading the documentation is helpful, don't forget that.

If you're using it on a cog, you'll need to do this.

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(self, member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(channel-id)
    await channel.send(f"Welcome to {member.guild.name}!")

another note, i haven't touched commands.Cog.listener() in a while, so expect some errors

In the API you should use guild, not server. A member can also be in many different guilds, so using member.guild will not work here. Try using client.get_channel(id).

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(464298877823221763)
    await channel.send("welcome")
