Text size
I struggle to read the small text because my eyes are bad. I •need* a setting to make it bigger. Please help!

Someone in alpha said font scaling is already included. So it may just be a matter of waiting for it's release.

Font scaling can't come soon enough after this disaster of an update, forcing larger text and tiny margins on everyone.

This is the most annoying oversight about Discord. It has hurt my eyes unbelievably to use this app. Not all Discord users are the young. You have quite a lot of over 50 that are just as savvy and on the level as the rest, so text size should be one of the first customizable features on the list!
Besides, reading such teeny tiny text in mobile whether a black or white background is a real strain on eyes at any age, and bad even for the young by causing eye problems prematurely. Mobile needs this bad.
As a matter of fact, twice now I've lost the debate in a mixed age community group (like a robotics club,) to use Discord versus other communication apps, and we always have to use one of the others available that have less features and flexibility. To the horror and disappointment of the kids and young adults in our group, and myself. So what if the others can work just fine, they are very boring and have a stiff feel to them. We lose the debate because the other adults have problems and annoyances reading the text on their phones when that's necessary, and they overpower the decision. Something to think about.

I'm into my 50s and find it hard to read all the tiny text on Discord screen.
If there is no way to increase text size, I'm out of here!

would love to be able to change the text size using CTRL + Scroll wheel up to make it bigger and CTRL + Scroll wheel down to make it smaller... much like how chrome and other apps can do it.

on the desktop app you can use 'ctrl' + '+' or 'ctrl' + '-'.

Actually the biggest problem is on the mobile app. That’s where it is hard for me and I use the mobile app 99% of the time. My computer screen is easy to resize text so that’s not an issue for me. I think most people spend half their screen time on mobile devices much smaller than their desktop device, and that’s what causes so many complaints. For an app on smaller devices, font scaling should have been one of the first features they provided.

Does your mobile device have a zoom feature you can enable or a way to manage system text size?

Yes it does. The first thing I tried was my text resizing. It does not affect Discord in any way. That’s Discord’s oversight. It works beautifully in my texting app and in many other apps where reading is the primary activity and the developer allowed it, or integrated with iOS’ Dynamic Type. Not all apps, because it’s each app’s own job to provide that feature or to interface with Dynamic Type. I’ve deleted other apps over the years when they failed to allow it and it was too difficult to read, and I found alternative apps. I can’t do that easily with Discord because that’s where most of the online groups I’m in resides. And I do like it better than other group text apps, except for this problem. It was rather easy to get two of my groups that comprise over 50 people to leave both Messenger and Kik and move to Discord, for reasons of better features. That won’t be an option now because we all like how Discord works way too much, especially for gaming groups. But every one of us grumbles constantly over this oversight.
Also the zoom feature is what I presently use, but it’s tedious beyond words to always have to use even with my triple tap shortcut. It interrupts the flow of reading and it’s not ideal at all. I’d rather the larger text rewrap to the screen like Dynamic Type allows. That’s Discord’s job to make it work. And frankly that’s what my complaint is about. It’s just too obvious of a need for mobile and it is long overdue after so many years. It’s an app where the primary action is reading!
