Fetch user that isn't in current server

How do I fetch a user that's not in the same server as my bot? This is for a command that will display an embed with the user's name (as well as some other stuff), but I'm not sure how to do it. I was able to do that in some of my other commands because it took a User object as a slash command option, but since this particular command that I'm writing now doesn't do that, I'm not sure how to fetch it.

const displayUserInfo = (userId: string) => new EmbedBuilder()
  .setTitle(`Displaying info for ${//fetch user here using userId somehow}`)

const displayUserInfo = (userId: string) => new EmbedBuilder()
  .setTitle(`Displaying info for ${//fetch user here using userId somehow}`)

if I get it correctly, you’re using / commands right?

ArarauraOP•2y ago

yes

</> Idris•2y ago

so you just need the user option no need to fetch anything

ArarauraOP•2y ago

wouldn't that just take the user that used the command?

? if you pass a valid user to your user option it resolves to a User object

But I'm not taking a User option in this particular command that I'm writing only did that for the other commands that I wrote, and I'll need to fetch multiple different users
