I think strftime() is what you're looking for.

Use the timestamp arg.

embed=discord.Embed(title='Joined at:', timestamp=member.joined_at)

This will show the time reletive to the displaying device's timezone

Try setting your value to the following format:

value = datetime.date.strftime(member.joined_at, '%a, %b %d, %Y, %I %p')
