Way to listen for MessageReactionRemove when the messages aren't cached

I am trying to detect when reactions are removed from a post in a forum channel. The relevant code looks like this:

client.on(Events.MessageReactionRemove, async (reaction, user) => {
    console.log("Event: Reaction Removed");
    if (reaction.emoji.name === '🍉') {
        await eventHandler.reactionRemoved(reaction, user, client);
    }
});

client.on(Events.MessageReactionRemove, async (reaction, user) => {
    console.log("Event: Reaction Removed");
    if (reaction.emoji.name === '🍉') {
        await eventHandler.reactionRemoved(reaction, user, client);
    }
});

However, if I react with the 🍉 and then boot the bot up, and then remove it, it doesn't detect it. On the other hand, if I add the reaction while the bot is already up and then remove it, it does detect it.

as far as I can tell I have enabled them

const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions],
    partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel, Partials.Reaction],
});

const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions],
    partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel, Partials.Reaction],
});

So does that log you have there logs when you remove an uncached reaction?

ProphecyOakOP•10mo ago

It does not there is no response at all from the event listener

And it works for cached ones?

ProphecyOakOP•10mo ago

yep as far as i can tell

Hmm, not sure then, it should be working. Ideally you'd need to check if reaction is a partial (and fetch it if it is), but since you are saying it doesn't even fire the event.
