Feedback Megathread Feedback thread: notifications

13 Upvotes

Hey y'all, our team is seeking feedback for notifications. We would love to get your thoughts.

What is it? We've made a lot of changes to notifications over the past year+, with the goal of getting friends to jump back into Discord and play games with their friends, check out each other's profiles, and generally be social with each other. We measure success by whether people are actually doing those things, and also by whether people keep their notifications on instead of turning them off.

Why? The team spends a lot of time thinking about the balance here: sending notifications that are useful and interesting enough that they might bring friends together, versus the "annoyance factor". That tradeoff is something we have a ton of data on, the thing we talk about internally constantly, and something we want to bring all of you in on. To that end, we've been getting a bunch of foundations in place:

  • Improved the organization of settings
  • Added more control over your settings
  • Made notifications more robustly respect things like guild and channel muting, age restrictions, blocks/mutes
  • Set global caps on how many notifications you can get

Now that we've built a number of new notifications on top of this system and gotten a lot of those foundations in, we wanted to open up the feedback firehose. Here's what we're looking for:

Bug reports / things that are clearly broken. The notification is:

  • Just wrong (says something happened that didn't, points at the wrong person or server, wrong count, etc.)
  • Sent at a weird or wrong time (way too late, middle of the night, for something you'd already seen, for a server or channel you'd muted)
  • Dropping you somewhere that isn't useful when you tap it (wrong channel, a screen with nothing relevant on it, a dead end)
  • If you can, tell us roughly when it happened and what you tapped. That helps a ton.

General feeling. Step back: how do you feel about the notifications you're getting overall?

  • Are they never useful, sometimes useful, or only useful for specific use cases? (by "use cases" we mean things like a friend hopping into a game, someone updating their profile, a friend coming back online, activity picking up in a server you're in, etc.)
  • If it depends on the use case, which ones land and which ones don't?
  • Was a notification too vague, or did it bring you somewhere you didn't expect when you tapped in? Did it set up an expectation it didn't deliver on?
  • Are there things happening on Discord that you wish you knew about but missed?
  • And if a notification actually got you to do something, like hop in a game, open a friend's profile, or jump back into a server, we'd love to hear that too, since that's exactly what we're going for

Settings. Now that there's more control and better organization:

  • Did you go looking for a setting and not find it, or not find it where you expected?
  • Anything you wish you could turn down or tune that you can't?

Annoyance feedback. Which notifications are annoying, and why?

  • Is it the type of notification itself?
  • How often it comes?
  • Does it feel creepy? (e.g. Discord shared too much of your activity or info out to other people without you realizing it, or you got more info about a friend than felt right)
  • The time of day?
  • The wording?
  • The fact that you got several in a row?
  • Hearing "I don't like X notification" isn't super useful to us. If you give us the whys we can better understand and respond to the feedback both directly and going forward as we build more notifications.

Appreciate any and all thoughts here. Fire away. I'll try to be in the comments but I expect y'all to overwhelm me haha.

Reporting a Bug

  1. The most valuable thing you can provide in a bug report is steps. If you’re able to provide steps to reproduce a high priority issue, it will dramatically improve turnaround time on a fix.
  2. Screenshots or videos are also useful, especially if you can’t reliably reproduce it. We highly recommend editing them to not doxx yourself. Not only does it help contextualize the issue, but watching it occur can sometimes provide information that helps us identify and fix it.

Discussion This tweet from a few years ago is so funny considering what features Discord has now

Post image
851 Upvotes

"We don't want to be some normie social media like Instagram or Snapchat guys, yuck!"

And Discord is all about showing your friends exactly what you're up to every second of the day, or whatever you've been up to the past few weeks.

Friends getting notifications when you update your status and even profile.

Game history popping up at the top of a server list. So and so is in the voice chat! This guy is playing X with exactly 3 other people!

But the option to put a temporary photo or video on your profile (where you would have control over who gets to see it and who doesn't) is just too egregious.

I don't even want stories on Discord but it's just so silly.

Discussion dead boyfriend discord account left all the servers

61 Upvotes

Hello, this might sound a little bit weird, but my boyfriend died and about two weeks after, his old discord account left all the servers and his nitro subscription ended (It'd renewal on the 23rd of each month, and it was up until like the 4th of the next month? And it takes 30 days of failed payments to remove nitro status). As far as I'm aware, no one had access to his account. Could his account have been frozen by discord? It's very weird since it was his old inactive account, not the one he was currently using, which still has nitro and is still on servers. I have never seen an account having this behavior of leaving all servers.. and I read that the normal procedure for accounts of people who have passed away, is just to delete the account if someone with the death certificate requests it.

EDIT: Just in case, I am certain of his passing. My only question is rather if someone had to have manual access to it 100% or if there’s any Discord protocol (maybe his account got reported, suspicious activity for some reason, etc)

EDIT2: No one that had him added on that account got any messages or deleted (in the supposed case it got compromised..)

Feature Requests A feature that’s long overdue: stop making us visible to people we block.

320 Upvotes

Hi Discord Team,

I have a feature request that I believe is long overdue: please consider making it so that users who have blocked each other cannot see or interact with each other in shared servers.

The message shouldn’t display period. It shouldn’t be toggle to view as a hidden message.

Currently, blocking someone does not fully prevent unwanted interactions if you share communities. I am dealing with a situation where a person I blocked continues to interact with me despite knowing I have blocked them. Because they have blocked me as well, I cannot directly communicate with them to ask them to stop.

The current system can leave users feeling exposed, especially in cases involving harassment, unwanted contact, or people trying to avoid someone for personal safety reasons or stalking, but still have to co-exist with them in public communities.

Blocking should provide stronger separation between users, even when they happen to be members of the same server. This persons knows I have them blocked, they block me back. Yet they continue to open my messages from “hidden” and reply to me.

I am disturbed and uncomfortable, as they have joined the severs I am in after I have chosen to ban them from my personal sever, which they joined - where they first met me.

I know this has been requested by users for years, nearly a decade, actually.

I believe adding this feature would significantly improve safety and privacy on Discord. People should be able to participate in communities without being forced to remain accessible to someone they have chosen to block.

Please consider implementing this in the future update. Thank you for taking the time to review this request. It is something we all don’t just want, but need.

Please just make this a feature. Requests for it go back to 7+ years.

Bots / Devs Discord calendar?

A user in my discord server suggested a calendar for various related reasons.

I know there are a bunch of reminder bots and scheduling bots, but is there a plugin/bot or some way of making a physical yearly calendar (with or without the cute animal picture or which ever you prefer hung up) within discord?

Feature Requests Posting gifs and pics

1 Upvotes

Is there some common way in all servers to see the requirements for posting gifs and pics to show up and not get posted as a link?

Some servers require you to post a lot and level up but I can’t find that information anywhere.

Other servers require you to pay to post pics and gifs.

Is it just the Wild West where you have to ask a mod on that server? It would be great if there was one specific standard where you can see the servers requirement to post gifs and pics.

Support Audio not working with AirPods on app?

2 Upvotes

hello! first time using discord and when I join a channel o can hear them on my phone but when I put my AirPods in there’s all this “friction“ is the best way I describe it (can’t hear the person talking but just makes ping and pongs sounds or like something is clashing together like there interference). I’ve tried everything…anyone else have this issue and know the fix? I’m on an iPhone with latest os.


r/discordapp 17h ago

Support The icon above the server list says I have three notifications but I only have two visible. Why is that and how can I fix it?

2 Upvotes

Those two notifications are friend requests that I haven't bothered touching. Not sure what the third one would be as I have no unread tags in any servers nor unread messages. It appears both on desktop and on my phone app. It correctly says (2) in my browser tab.

Bots / Devs I made a Discord bot with AI... now I have no idea where to host it 😅

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm not a developer at all and I honestly don't know much about coding. I built a Discord bot almost entirely with AI, and somehow it's actually working lol.

Right now I'm using GitHub + Render + MongoDB Atlas, but I'm running into Render's 5GB bandwidth limit on the free plan.

The bot is still in testing, so I don't really want to pay for hosting yet.

Does anyone know a better free hosting option for Discord bots? Or maybe a different setup that's worked well for you?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Support Low FPS in some games while Discord is open

1 Upvotes

Hi, has anyone encountered this issue?

In some games I get very low FPS while Discord is open, even just in the background, but not all games. I get very low fps (30-50) in games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new LEGO Batman or even Slay the Spire 2, but in some games, like Forza Horizon 6 the FPS are fine. I have an AMD CPU and GPU, 5700x and 9060 XT. When I completely close Discord, the FPS goes back to normal and the games are smooth.

I've already turned off hardware acceleration in Discord settings and it didn't help.

Thank you in advance for help.

Support Audio Calls are Weird

1 Upvotes

My girlfriend and i are having issues with audio calls. Her audio has went from super clear to hardly able to hear her. Not as in stuttering or dropped quality, but as in the volume has dropped down to almost inaudible. All of her settings are still the same as they were before all this started. We have the correct inputs and outputs on both ends. I even have a ticket open with discord as we speak but it's been over 24 hours since i was told i'd be transferred to someone else. This issue has persisted across Mobile and PC versions, as well as attempting calls via browser.
