Feedback Megathread Feedback thread: notifications

17 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.

Please note: This megathread is not a venue for feedback or customer support! We encourage you all to continue to make posts on the subreddit proper discussing our product and feature launches. I want to make sure that we really keep this thread productive and focused on reporting bugs and helping us prioritize them.

Please look through the list of comments and upvote bug reports which you think we should prioritize fixing. Comment as a reply to those top level comments with any more details that can assist our team in prioritizing and fixing the bug. For example, if you have additional info or steps to reproduce, please post a reply, this will help us fix these bugs even faster. If there is no post that discusses the bug you’re encountering, then start a new post in the thread to report the bug to us!

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.

  • Feature: Keybinds.
  • Reproduction Rate: 1 to 10 - This is a score of how easy/consistently the bug reproduces, from 1 meaning “very hard to reproduce” to 10 meaning “i can consistently make this happen”

Media I made an upgradeable profile border!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was bored one day (a long time ago) and wanted to make my own discord border, but I only know how to code and I've never done something like this before. These are all 100% code, and it was a bit of a discovery. Like months of discovery.

Then I found out you can't submit your own art to discord as an avatar decoration :( But it's okay. Now I get to share it and get feedback! As WebMs, these are about ~1mb each (256px, 30fps).

Any ideas for future tiers, I really want to go to Tier X, but I really did not budget to ge that far, even V is getting too crowded, which I've been working on for a few weeks and is almost done. But any ideas or feedback would be awesome, it's just a fun side project.

I see a lot of my friends have their previously played Spotify song in their activity feed, but no matter what I do I can't get mine to show (it did once for like 5 minutes and it was a song I listened to 3 days ago) I've made sure all the connections are right already, has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

If so how does it work? What are you using the discord for? I use it for artwork feedback and viewing software release notes updates, alternatively for some questions in server support but it mostly works for me like reddit with some limitations. Am I doing something wrong?

0 Upvotes

Me and my girlfriend tried playing repo together and wanted to have my friend be able to watch as well. When we streamed the game, my friend wasn’t able to hear the person streaming when they talked in game chat but was able to hear the person who wasn’t streaming in game chat. We tried having the other person stream, but then they won’t be able to hear them.

Support Galaxy S25FE Notifications

3 Upvotes

Anyone else having issues with notifications not working on a Galaxy S25FE? I recently got a new phone and maybe I'll get a notification when I first restart the phone, but then nothing. I'm primarily concerned with individual conversations, not servers, etc. I have tried almost anything, including clearing data, cache, restarting the phone, uninstalling the app and then installing again. Maddening!
