Description

:clipboard: Description

A discord badge as the one currently available, with the only difference, that it shows the total number of people in the server as well:

E.g. Discord: 15/50 online

:link: Data

I am not sure if there is such an endpoint with the available data in the Discord API.

:microphone: Motivation

Showing the number of online users is good, but sometimes you want to also show the number of people that have joined the server in total. It's good to show the total interest in your project/server.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Discord API for endpoints that provide total member count and online member count. Determine if a single request can return both values or if multiple requests are needed. Review existing Discord badge implementation in the Shields codebase to understand the current setup.
