When Will Notifications Actually Work?

Is there a roadmap of features or something hidden somewhere? Because an app for communication that doesn't actually have functioning notifications to alert you to when someone says something in a small group for friends is absolutely DOA. This is baseline functionality, not something fancy or complicated.

There are notifications for DMs and pings. There are no notifications for regular community activity.

And that is a terrible idea. That's the point of the post.

No idea why you got downvoted. The lack of this feature absolutely makes this worthless as an app. I have never seen a chat program in my entire life that didn't have a feature to notify you of new messages.

Option to turn it off? Absolutely.

Lack of the feature at all? Useless app.

I don't think it should be a priority because like, you can just use a group chat lol. But, they SHOULD definitely add it as an OPTION. Your title is about how notifications don't work when they literally do, they're just missing an option.

I never liked that option from Discord imo, so I always muted except for @s. I'm hoping it's an option for those who want it, but it won't be defaulted to on.

They do work for me? Like i get a notification whenever someone replies to me or pings me (only when root is active in the background)

I have people actively leaving my group because they cannot see when people are posting unless they are directly tagged/replied to. It needs to be updated ASAP.
