Question on user caching in bot messages

I'm testing making a bot send a message when a user joins and leaves the guild. The message contains a mention of the user. This is basically what I originally wrote:

const container = new ContainerBuilder()
  .addTextDisplayComponents(
    new TextDisplayBuilder()
      .setContent(`<@${member.id}> has joined the server.`)
  );

channel.send({
  components: [container],
  allowedMentions: { parse: [] },
  flags: MessageFlags.IsComponentsV2
});

const container = new ContainerBuilder()
  .addTextDisplayComponents(
    new TextDisplayBuilder()
      .setContent(`<@${member.id}> has joined the server.`)
  );

channel.send({
  components: [container],
  allowedMentions: { parse: [] },
  flags: MessageFlags.IsComponentsV2
});

However, the messages would sometimes show the mention as @unknown-user until you viewed their profile through something like Mod-View. Would changing this to use allowedMentions: { users: [member.id] } fix this or is this unavoidable? If yes to the prior, can the issue still occur when the user leaves the guild?

That's how discord protects your privacy. Checkout this user <@186330752437190658> For me it shows the name etc. But for u it's probably unknown user (except if you have indirect contact to him eg. by sharing a server)

but this is about joinijg so it's in the server it's probably about the caching not being updated 🤷🏿‍♂️

using allowedmentions should work since cv2 can mention users (they are included in the payload and get cached). Though i don't know if they are included by default or with allowedmentions set
