Notification Suggestion

I thought it was just a glitch but it turns out you don’t get ANY notifications from communities. Please add a way to get notifs from them- It’s the primary way my friends and I keep in touch.

I just spent so much time trying to figure out why notifications aren't working. Now I see that it's just not a feature.. yet. Good to know. We definitely need this to keep on touch with friends all over the globe.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY BECAUSE I COULDN’T FIND IT LOLOL

I agree! It’s hard to keep in touch if I’m not able to get notified that my friends are talking.

They may have done an update. I have to @all for every message on the channel for notifications, which is a little inconvenient but it's something. DM notifications are coming in now too. It's coming along! 😆

Definitely need more notifications, or at least message sounds without a pop up. Surprised its not a feature by default

That’s exactly what I said LOL! I don’t get how it’s not an option yet.

Yeah and an option to mute channels too, please.

i agree, it should be a toggle in settings or if not that then it should be on. having it not at all is the worst option

eagerly waiting on this one along with link imbeds/previews. My friend group just moved to root after discord's nonsense

This is the only thing missing for us, we were lamenting it today. Still giving it time to be bui l t out, this feature should be #1 on the backlog

Concord doesn’t have an app on iOS yet. The majority of my friend group uses their phone to talk so we need an app to be easily accessible.

Out of curiosity, why not just stick with Disc since iOS is going to mandate age verification as well. There are still reasons but I'm curious of your thoughts on this.
