We're testing the forum channel feature for Discord. If you have feedback about this style of channel or have found any bugs, please post them here. We will aggregate the everything and send them to Discord staff.

another completely uneccesary feature like threads and stickers

#

yay discord

buoyant dagger
#

I think a forum type (basically a channel with a bunch of sub-channels) is significantly more use than the original implementation of threads and stickers, so we're giving it a chance

#

forum channels are what threads should have been

I think this is better. Sometimes the threads would get too cluttered because some random individuals would butt into a conversation and be like “lfg” or “Is Fizz just so kawaii XD” and it would sometimes derail what others were just talking about and it would make rereading the chat obnoxious.
I’m all for this setup personally.

The only use I’ve seen for threads was when reply chains get long, to separate sub-topics that pop up in chats.

Forum threads definitely seem more universally useful, there’s a lot of healthy discussion going on that I’ve been reading. Somewhat dislike the fact the UI in forum channels once you click a topic remains entirely similar to a normal channel, but that could just be a nitpick.

Overall, very solid addition.
(looks like that UI bit changed a bit for the better lol)

This is pretty good. Promise I’ll keep on topic with these, we don’t need a “serious-league-serious”

Forums are still in development and we are only testing it for now. Once we have some positive feedback from the ones we did make and discord themselves, you can expect to see some more channels like this.

This is so cool wtf!? I love this

spring ibex
#

Is this the only server testing the feature? Or is it being rolled out already?

buoyant dagger
#

there's a small group of servers testing it right now, although I'm not sure which

spring ibex
#

cool

#

let's hope it rolls out soon, looks good

narrow wolf
#

looks cool actually, organized and stuff

Pretty good feature, users can scroll through and see which one they could offer good answers to and join the discussion easily.

There's also the " Like " and " Follow " option, as well as the amount of comments in the thread itself. I guess the " Like " option acts as an upvote and the " Follow " option notifies the user so that they can review the discussion whenever they're free.

Super good, should be permanently implemented here ZoeHYPERS

final gale
#

We are liking it as well. The organized look to it is very appealing and a way for people to discuss different topic without disrupting others is very nice. If Discord does implement it, we will have it permanently

narrow wolf
#

is there a way i can search by a specific tag or title ?

final gale
#

Not as of yet

spring ibex
#

You’re actually unable to add a flair/tag when making a thread on the iOS app

somber merlin
#

This is more of a question rather than feedback, will the threads stay open? Oh and also if there are matching questions, do they get merged into 1?

somber merlin
#

A lot of people writing are not actually saying anything concrete except “get good at the game” or “play (insert champion) ez”

buoyant dagger
#

threads are archived after 24 hours of inactivity, and merging threads is not a thing

bitter island
#

do pinned "posts" get archived as well?

buoyant dagger
#

that's something I don't have an answer to, but I will in 1 hour when a test post I made reaches the archive time

i'd still prefer using reddit since reddit posts can be crawled and indexed by google, so you can get results from the subreddit on google.
Discord is gated so search engines cant crawl it and it's hard to search

ig this is good for questions when you need a quick reply since i think response times on discord are faster than reddit.

I think forums are somewhat better than threads (which is a very poorly implemented and pointless feature in my opinion). Forums compensate for this, and give some utility to what threads can be. If the forums are approved, they should remove the threads in the channels.

#

yeah i really like this layout

#

and that its pretty perfect for this server

#

its just better reddit now imo

narrow wolf
#

it really is one of the best addition to it i need to add this to my server

How do I add a forum channel to my server?

summer panther
#

How do I get the invite?

#

@buoyant dagger

buoyant dagger
#

If you have not been contacted by Discord staff, then you do not have an invite

obtuse osprey
buoyant dagger
#

I know nothing, and if I did I wouldn't be able to say

#

at this point I'm just hoping they don't remove it, because that's not known, either

cunning wigeon
#

How about moderation of the forum? Is it manageable in this big server? Cuz I can imagine it being tedious looking through each forum cuz bots don't seem to work here.

obtuse osprey
#

saw some threads with racial slurs and they’d kill it in like 10m

cunning wigeon
#

Ah alright

#

Cuz that's what makes some of these things deal breakers

#

It’s currently in a very limited invite-only test

Such a cool feature.

Threads are nice, but only in certain situations. Forums are great for large-scale servers.

buoyant dagger
#

we don't work for Discord, so we can't help you

#

as far as we're aware, you can only be invited by Discord staff as they alpha test forums, which includes signing forms

#

the feature is not released

steel quail
#

its honestly a very good feature but i dont see its use in non big/ game related servers tbh

#

also idk if its just me but when ever i use the search function for this channel it gets stuck at loading

old ridge
#

hello yes, sometimes cant delete own topic, its lagging. Idk if its a server or discord problem, I dont care

#

Just saying

buoyant dagger
#

probably a Discord problem

mild cedar
#

this needs to copy the settings of reddit

#

like hot, new etc feed

buoyant dagger
#

based on my conversations with Discord, they're aiming for the feature to fit into a different place than reddit and making it more like traditional forums

#

where the only threads that matter are new and active ones

#

is there anything in particular that makes you want hot/new feeds?

mild cedar
#

Right now the only options to sort out the posts are recent activity and creation time. which is already like hot and new. having an option to look at/ sort posts with highest upvotes/downvotes would weed out bad posts and save our time. tags are really good feature though. but users cant make new tags, maybe a post on itself just to add highest upvoted tags would be nice ? need a tag for rants. maybe also more feature like selecting more tags or even invert searching tags,

buoyant dagger
#

forum posts don't have upvotes, though, so I don't see how they could sort by that

#

"likes" used to be a thing that reacted with a heart emoji, but I think they removed that

mild cedar
#

yea its the same thing, i wonder why they did that

tepid beacon
#

Thread owners should be able to remove people from posts they own

buoyant dagger
#

that looks like Discord is just broken and not loading the channel; blocked messages don't look like that

tepid beacon
#

Blocked messages look like that for me when there are alot of them

#

They are completely removed for me instead of showing a dropdown.

Also we should be able to remove people from our own threads

buoyant dagger
#

based on my conversations with Discord and knowledge of how it works, that's not possible

#

individual threads don't have their own permissions distinct from the parent forum

#

they also told me they're not going to be changing that

#

but I'm not Discord, so who knows kyokoShrug

#

I've seen a number of other servers already make that suggestion

minor torrent
#

true totem
#

I wish the posts were sorted somehow

#

Like the thread with the most traffic of the week at the top, etc

#

This way interesting topics wouldnt be lost and then deleted

ocean spoke
#

Yeah, I think the 50+ messages thing isn't enough. I'd really like it to work very closely to classic forums work(ed). I am very against upvotes or a reddit style system in any way, I think only highlighting posts people agree with creates circlejerks and it's very unfun

wild venture
#

I like it a lot because I can go in and not have to sort through 3 other convos to find any answers to questions I have

brazen helm
#

I have a question

#

i would like to post a thread but it says im being rate limited? whatdoes it mean

buoyant dagger
#

the only rate limit we've set is one post per minute, so if it's not that then I don't know

brazen helm
#

the post worked! i just waited a bit

earnest carbon
#

it's not readily apparent where to find the rules for the forum

pure garnet
buoyant dagger
#

Discord is still working on the implementation; they're going to be adding a pop-up on mobile when you enter a forum for the first time

steel wave
#

I really enjoy this feature so far. One topic, most people stay on it. I wouldn't mind some sorting system other than the two options we have now. Feels a bit reddit like, but I don't mind that so much.

narrow wolf
#

I think there’s a bug, at least on mobile,(not sure about PC as I haven’t been on PC discord in awhile) but whenever I read a thread it doesn’t mark it as read anymore and it takes me back to the last “new” message(s).

Edit: it only marks as read if I hit the [x] on the bar indicating how many new messages there are, but not if I scroll all the way down.

idk how to make a thread
