                            console.log(userData)
                            // Check if user data is available and if the user allows DMs
                            if (userData && userData.dmChannel) {
                                userData.send({
                                    content: 'You have been referred in a post by <@!' + interaction.user.id + '>. To report this Referral click the Report button in this message',
                                    embeds: [embed],
                                });
                            } else {
                                // Handle the case where DMs are disabled or the user blocked the bot
                                console.log(`Failed to send a message to user ${user.id}.`);
                                errorIds.push({id:user.id, reason: 'Closed DMs'});
                            }
                        } catch (e) {

You can't check whether the user allows DMs without actually trying to send a dm. You seem to be checking whether a DM channel happen to be cached at the moment, which is unrelated to whether you can actually send a DM to them.

Oh How can i check if they have dms available? (if i can)

space•11mo ago

You can't, you have to just send and handle the eventual error occuring.
