EmbedBuilder sends an empty message

I'm trying to send an embed using the interaction.editReply() way. However when I execute the command I get an error DiscordAPIError[50006]: Cannot send an empty message.

const { EmbedBuilder, ActionRowBuilder, ButtonBuilder } = require('discord.js');

async function createLobby(interaction, options) {
    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true});

    const size = options.get('size').value;
    const name = options.get('name').value;
    const description = options.get('description') ? options.get('description').value : 'No description provided.';
    let color = 0x17fc03;
    const footerObject = {
        text: 'Initiated by ' + interaction.user.username,
        icon_url: interaction.user.avatarURL()
    }

    const lobbyEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setColor(color)
        .setTitle(name)
        .setDescription(description)
        .addFields(
            { name: 'Lobby Size', value: size, inline: false },
        )
        .setTimestamp()
        .setFooter(footerObject);
    
    interaction.editReply({ embed: [lobbyEmbed], ephemeral: true });
}

module.exports = createLobby;

const { EmbedBuilder, ActionRowBuilder, ButtonBuilder } = require('discord.js');

async function createLobby(interaction, options) {
    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true});

    const size = options.get('size').value;
    const name = options.get('name').value;
    const description = options.get('description') ? options.get('description').value : 'No description provided.';
    let color = 0x17fc03;
    const footerObject = {
        text: 'Initiated by ' + interaction.user.username,
        icon_url: interaction.user.avatarURL()
    }

    const lobbyEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setColor(color)
        .setTitle(name)
        .setDescription(description)
        .addFields(
            { name: 'Lobby Size', value: size, inline: false },
        )
        .setTimestamp()
        .setFooter(footerObject);
    
    interaction.editReply({ embed: [lobbyEmbed], ephemeral: true });
}

module.exports = createLobby;

I'm not sure if in this new version this technique still works the same way as in 14.14.x. Do I need to send it, and not edit the reply? Thanks for the help in advance!
