I'd like my Discord.py bot to display a random embedded message from a single channel

I have a discord channel that is full of embedded messages. I would like have the bot display a random embedded message from this channel in to any other channel where the command is called, similar to the functionality shown below.

When I call this code while pointed at the embed channel it returns an error: "discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message"

I believe this is caused by the channel being totally embeds, but I am very stupid and open to being corrected. I have confirmed that the bot has full admin privileges and thus can see/write into any channel. I've also confirmed that the below code works on non-embeds in other channels.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

@client.command()
async def bestpost(ctx):
        channel = client.get_channel(channelID)
        best_posts = []

        async for message in channel.history(limit=500):
                best_posts.append(message)
        random_bestpost = random.choice(best_posts).content

        await ctx.send(random_bestpost)

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
