Notifications while Switching Accounts

Gamma 🦎 [NX-42]

I really like the new "Switch Account" feature and am glad to have it. Comparing it to how telegram handles multiple accounts, however, there's one glaringly missing feature: while signed in on one account, we don't get any notifications from the other accounts.

I would love to, at the very least, see a little notification for any DMs in the "Switch Accounts" window, or something, so I know when one of my accounts is getting pinged!

    Yes, please! This is such a critical aspect of using multiple accounts - without this, I won't be using the new account switcher and will have to continue using both the Discord and Discord PTB clients to efficiently use two accounts.

    This was a bit of a disappointment for me, as well. I was very excited for the Switch Account feature because I use discord for both my career and multiple hobbies, and I would have loved to be able to switch between those accounts seamlessly to have more freedom to customize my hobby account without worry of confusing the coworkers that are less familiar with Discord's features. However, since there's no way for me to get notifications on one account while I'm using the other, it sort of defeated the purpose, at least in my case.

    I definitely agree with OP; even if we aren't able to get every notification from account A while logged into account B, a notification bubble (that discerns between server messages and direct messages as the taskbar icon does) by the "Switch Accounts" tab would be very beneficial for those of us who wouldn't be able to use the new feature without any outside access to our other accounts' notifications.
