Separate @everyone and @here, suppress by channel, make @here respect "nothing" and "mute" settings
@everyone and @here causes me great headaches both as a user and as a server owner. @everyone, in most cases, is best left disabled. However, @here has practical uses within specific channels filled with a small number of people. For instance: I'm the server owner of a large public mobile game discord and we have some private channels that are dedicated to specific guild and raids. People in those private channels generally want to be notified of @here notifications, because they are actually useful to tell them "hey I'm opening a raid instance for this boss you care about".
However, those notifications may be overused or abused in other channels. Your options are to either suppress for the entire server, or deal with being annoyed by those other channels. For the channels you do not want to subscribe to @here or @everyone on, if you set your notifications to nothing or muted, it doesn't show push notifications. But it does increment the notification counter, which is very misleading and annoying. Here are some screenshots showing this:
This is annoying enough as a user, but if it's an opt-in private channel, I could just have the role removed that grants me access to that channel. However, as server owner, I don't have a choice. I am stuck in that channel no matter what, with my notifications being cluttered by spurious @heres.
Additionally, there are servers I would like to only allow/listen for @here on, not @everyone. These issues could be solved by more granular controls, separating the two, allowing you to suppress by channel, and/or making the nothing and mute notification settings actually work that way for @here mentions.

People have been requesting this for years.... I am not sure why it's not been done yet!

I had an open ticket so I asked the support guy to forward this as a suggestion to the devteam.
Meanwhile still waiting on the Tyranny fix rip.

Also if this did get added adding an option to treat @everyone's as @here would also be nice. Especially for those live stream notification channels like I don't need to see an old notification for a stream that started while I was offline you know.

Since Discord has the dreadful limitation of everyone being in every channel, the inability to adjust the notifications with some granularity is a huge oversight. Other chat platforms simply have a model where you join the channels you want to, thus avoiding this nonsense.
I would like @nickname mentions to notify me in muted channels and nothing else, they are muted for a reason; instead, I get notified when someone (like an overzealous admin) abuses @everyone in some channel I don't care about and have muted.
In reading threads about Discord's notification and muting issues, I guess turning off notifications doesn't actually turn off notifications even.
Are they seriously making a play for Slack's market share in business while they can't figure out how to do notifications correctly?

As a server owner I'd really be interested in this too. I don't want to strip my coworkers from the usefulness of @here notifications, and force them to use @Role ones for their department, since @here are in many cases more fitting. Other employees from other departments don't see the @here anyway, but me and other moderators that are not interested in those messages still get unwanted notifications, even if the channels themselves are muted.
All in all, would really like to be able to mute @here and @everyone per channel.

Please. A server recently added a new channel that I have ZERO interest in and they use @everyone to advise when they're about to start streaming. I have both set my notifications to "never" AND muted the channel and I still get the red indicator and the annoying red hover text of "new mentions".
I don't want to suppress @everyone server-wide bc there're other channels in the server that I want the notification of an event happening.

As server owner or server mod I shouldn't be summoned every time an @here is used. Either give me a way to leave the channel in question or give me a way to turn off @here notifications.

i started streaming recently and used @here twice. But i'm already looking for a better way to not annoying everybody. But looks like there is still no way to mute @here on a channel basis or send notifications only to one channel. Or any other easy method to give people the possibility to get notified by me if they want to.

Why can't we mute @everyone in specific channels?

Absolutely agree. While it'd be great to be able to set muting settings on a per-channel basis, at the very least we should be able to set a server to mute @everyone/@here in muted channels (or not, if we prefer).
