Is there a way to check if a specific user id exists within the server? without using cache
I couldn’t find a working code, whether or not the user had never chatted

commands.add('test3', (arg) =>{
    
var exists = bot.users.cache.has(arg);
    
    if (exists == true) { msg.channel.send('1'); }else { msg.channel.send('2');} //msg.sme{e
});

This is a temporary command for testing. When user send a command with @anyuser, the bot needs to make sure the user is on the server first (otherwise it could be crashed) but nothing I tried worked properly…

Is there a better way than this?

    Try to fetch the member through the guild member manager. An error will be thrown if the member does not exist. Use a try/catch block to handle the possible error.

    async function exists(guild, arg) {
   try {
      const member = await guild.members.fetch(arg);
      return !!member;
   } catch (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return false;
   }
}

    You can use guild.members.fetch(userID) to fetch a member from the server by their user ID. If the user exists, it will return the member otherwise, it will throw an error.

    
  commands.add('test3', async (arg) => {
        try {
            const member = await msg.guild.members.fetch(arg);
            
           msg.channel.send(`User ID found: ${member.id}`);
           
        } catch (error) {
        
             msg.channel.send('User not found on the server.');
        }
    });
