Remove Follow Button

ForgottenIce

After the update that implemented the follow feature rolled in I've had to stare at this annoying pop-up message at the bottom of every announcement channel (marked in red) telling me to follow the channel. It takes up so much space and is just generally annoying to look at. I'm totally fine with the follow feature but does it really have to take up that much space? I think the one marked in green is more than enough

    Such an annoying thing, I can't believe they made it intentionally. Please, remove those ugly buttons that take space and bring our attention to them. At the very minimum, please give us some means to hide them, since I have no intention to ever click on them at all.

    Yes, please, just limit it to the small "Follow" button in the green box. At the very least, only show the massive banner the first time, and have a little cross 'x' which removes it (just like all the other first-time tips in Discord). Thanks!

    Same problem is also on android version, where it takes minimum of 20% of screen in landscape mode.

    Is there any professional UI designer working on it ???

    If I click on the "Follow" button It says that I do not have any server, so why the button is there, when I can not use it? This is a terrible user experience.

    UX designers wake up! Time for meeting about this issue with the person responsible for UI.

    If you press the follow button you get an error message detailing that they already know you can't follow. Why present it if you can't use it???    

    Fairly annoying.

    I agree. I fully support the follow feature, and am sure that it has its uses. 

    But I currently do not have any use for it, so it just comes off as a banner advertisement that I can't close out of. 

    I think it would be an improvement if the banner ad was a one-off thing you could x out of.

    Adding my support to this; the follow feature is nice to have but the persistent notification is nothing more than UI clutter.

    I don't know why this banner feels so much more annoying than a grayed out text box, but it is very annoying to look at. Should come with an X to dismiss it. Poor UI design.

    It's been two years and the button still haunts us? Time to change to a better app?

    Look, just ask them to add a feature in settings.
