Can't get any Discord Messages from Users

Hey folks,

long story short : I've written this line of code in my C# Console-Program

private async Task ClientOnMessageReceived(SocketMessage socketMessage)
{
    if (!socketMessage.Author.IsBot)
    {    
        var channel_msg = _client.GetChannel(Convert.ToUInt64(_channelIdSky2)) as SocketTextChannel;
        var discordMessages = await channel_msg.GetMessagesAsync(20).FlattenAsync();
        var orderedMessages = discordMessages.OrderBy(x => x.Timestamp);

        var sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (var msg in orderedMessages)
        {
            sb.AppendLine(msg.Author + ":\r\n" + msg.Content + "\r\n");
        }
        Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
    }
    return;
}

I am getting the following Ouput :

Why the Script can only read Bot Messages and no user messages?

if (!socketMessage.Author.IsBot)

isn't the error. i've tried it without

Would really hope for Your help.

Best greetings from Germany

Make sure that you enable the Message Content Intent on the Discord Developer Portal, because it is a privileged intent and needs to be explicitly set.

discord developer portal - message content intent

Additionally, you need to go into your DiscordSocketConfig and add the MessageContent intent to the GatewayIntents property. If you don't have a DiscordSocketConfig, create one and pass it into the constructor of your DiscordSocketClient.

Example:

var config = new DiscordSocketConfig
{
    GatewayIntents = GatewayIntents.AllUnprivileged | GatewayIntents.MessageContent
}            };

Note: You should specify the intents you actually need instead of defaulting to All or AllUnprivileged
