How to listen to messages from a specific channel in every guild

Question

I want my bot to listen to every channel which is named "disminer-2" i am currently using

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os 
import asyncio
#from keepalive import keep_alive
from replit import db

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ">")
client.remove_command("help")

filtered = ["fuck","shit"]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))
  print("User: user Id : Message Content")

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
  
  chn_id = msg.channel.id
  
  #all the filter things
  
  if msg.channel.name != "disminer-1" or msg.author.id == 844182812977659904 or msg.author.bot == True:
    return
  if msg.content.lower() in filtered:
    await msg.reply("Your message contains a filtered word.")
    return
  if msg.content.lower() in "https://" or msg.content.lower() in "https://":
    await msg.reply("Links cannot be sent through, so don't try to advertize, idiot. And now your punishment is get pinged 10 times, loser!")
    for i in range (0,10):
      await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
      await msg.channel.send(f"{msg.author.mention}")
    return
  if  "discord.gg" in msg.content.lower() or "discord.com" in msg.content.lower():
    await msg.reply("Links cannot be sent through, so don't try to advert your discord server, idiot. And now your punishment is get pinged 10 times, loser!")
    for i in range (0,10):
      await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
      await msg.channel.send(f"{msg.author.mention}")
    return
  
  channel = discord.utils.get([x for x in client.get_all_channels() if x.type is discord.TextChannel], name="disminer-2")

  await channel.send(f"**{msg.author}:** {msg.content}")
  print(f"{msg.author} : ({msg.author.id}) : {msg.content}")
  await client.process_commands(msg)

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
  for guild in client.guilds:
    for channel in guild.channels:
        await ctx.send (channel)


"""
Notes:
we might be able to do the for guild in thing
it seems to get all the channels.
"""

#keep_alive()
client.run(os.environ['BOTTOKEN'])

and am getting error

Ignoring exception in on_message Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 343, in _run_event await coro(args, kwargs) File "main.py", line 45, in on_message await channel.send(f"{msg.author}:* {msg.content}") AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

any help appreciated thx.

Im basically trying to make a global bot which reads messages in disminer-1 and sends it to every guild it is in with the channel disminer-2.

There are several problems with your code. First of all, you've got the check for the channel-type wrong.

Its

discord.ChannelType.text

not

discord.TextChannel

as found here.

Next, your implementation wont send to every channel. You will need to change the execution of your code.

for channel in client.get_all_channels():
    if (channel.type == discord.ChannelType.text) and (channel.name == "disminer-2"):
        await channel.send(f"**{msg.author}:** {msg.content}")
