Possible to spawn for a single server with sharding?
I'm looking to have my bot do some specific processes in my server alone using a cron job (assigning roles based on database values, etc).
I'd prefer to save the resources of spinning up and connecting to every server & several shards when running this.
Is it possible to spawn an instance of the bot targeting a single server? Or should I just make a whole new bot for this?
Thanks in advance <:pepe_pray:1011147706539966525>

Ah I see the formula... Perhaps I can figure it out
shard_id = (guild_id >> 22) % num_shards
Might just be easier to make a new bot though I guessDocumentation suggestion for @billytheape.eth:
(static) ShardClientUtil.shardIdForGuildId()
Get the shard id for a given guild id.
