"Subscribe" channel/sub-channel feature
Without doing an extensive research, it's assumed that the majority of the users on Discord has the Discord Mobile app for their phone. Out of those individuals, many probably still have notifications turned on for the channels and sub-channels that they are involved in. Even with the most advanced phones, these pop-up notifications can be a little hectic when you are involved in a lot of different active channels and sub-channels. I'd like to introduce not only a solution to this (even though I am not classifying the notifications as an issue), but also a new and exciting feature is love to see on Discordapp! Imagine, if you will, that every channel, every sub-channel that you frequent or openly talk I , has this awesome "subscribe" button. By clicking on that button, every post that is made when you are not in will be pushed into your 'subscriptions' channel. From there, you can see all the posts from the various channels you subscribed to without having to go to each channel individually. No need for a text box or complicated messaging tool, just a window that shows the posts and keeps them grouped up via sub channels. It can get better, too! Next to each post can be a small text bubble you can click on to be send to that channel directly to begin joining the conversation. Whats more is that you can also utilize the 'quote text' option in case you are commenting on a particular post that has since drifted away in the conversation of things. Now, your probably wondering 'what use would this feature be to me? Why would I use it?' Well, maybe you aren't involved in many different channels or a channel with a lot of active sub-channels. Maybe you're the type that just uses the awesome voice features Discord has. If that's the case, I may not be talking directly to you. I am, however, talking to you, that one person that likes to stay in-the-know on all things with your favorite channels. Maybe you have that knack to help people out, and joined a channel with a group of freelance tech supplporters so you can put your awesome skills to the test. Wouldn't it be awesome to see all those new posts pop up in one window, instead of multiple feeds or a simple ding from your PC or phone when you were in the kitchen fixing that sub you been wanting to make after a 13 hour gaming session! Let's face it! We want to keep things simple. We like easy. We don't like clutter. Right now, as it stands, the notifications system is a bit... Scattered. I believe Discord can do so much more, and this just might be the direction it needs... But what if would look like? Well, I will not draw it up, but here's a quick snip of what it 'could' look like here:
My Subscriptions
Channel - Subchannel - unsubscribe - collapse ^v
Username - date and time - comment - quote
Message
...... And so on. Of course it could look better, but this is just an idea. It's simple, it's active, it's live, it's quick. I would love to see this feature, and also would love to hear your opinions -both positive and negative.
