Can send messages, Does not see chat messages, sees pings (Python)

I have tryed to create a simple bot that currently does nothing other than connect, say it’s connected and listen to messages. But it does not see any messages in the chat.

I just started working on it and it’s one of my first times using python, this is also my first time on this forum so I don’t know if I post this at the correct place, or if at all this should be posted on this forum.

EDIT:

I found this while uploading the rest of my code, but I had forgotten to add a # in the config or in the join part. So yea derp.

Welcome!
First of all, yes this is the right place to post this to and also its okay to post the code here.
Unfortunately, a lot of code is missing, you should probably post your whole code, so we can see, if there might be issues with connecting etc.

Make sure to remove your oauth tokens/passwords/private information before posting any code

I found the issue, it was the # for joing a channel. I tought I had the #
