When to shard?

I saw something that said to shard at 2,500 guilds but I'm wondering if member count also plays a role in sharding? My bot got added to a 600k member server bringing it up to serving about 1.4 million people atm and the guild join event never fired, wondering if it's a one off occurence of something I should look into now. Thanks!

It's likely an one-off occurrence. I also recommend using internal sharding until your bot starts to slow down, which depending on its functionality and what they cache, can range between 10k and 100k guilds.
