The new swiping behavior is grinding my gears as well. With so many options for it in the settings, I’m surprised they didn’t just have the people in channel list as an option. I’m also not a big fan of the private message section, but it doesn’t bother me nearly as much. Overall a nice update though.
I hate the new layout. Why are DMs separate from servers? It makes no sense, and it means extra back button presses/swipes to change between them. Why not just have everything in one sidebar which I feel is way more logically consistent and convenient? This update is trash and Discord should feel bad.
Because lots of people thought that the previous ux was idiotic. Why are dms included with servers? That makes no sense? Why do dms disappear from the server list after you open them? It’s idiotic UX and the new way is much better. DMs are always reachable immediately and you don’t have to understand what the icons mean in order to find DMs. For my wife who uses discord maybe ten times a year, this will make her hate discord so much less.
For those of us who use Discord primarily on desktop though, this UI is atrocious. I expect Discord to work like Discord, not <insert other mobile app here>. I like the consistent experience between platforms.
Ultimately though, why can this not just be a freaking OPTION? Just put a toggle in the menu [DMs in Server List] [DMs in Separate Tab]. Bad user experience is forcing all users to conform to the One True Vision ™. Especially when that vision is now horribly disjointed between platforms.
It’s because they rewrote the app from the ground up. They had a lot of issues getting the AMOLED theme to work because the base of the entire thing was written with the idea that there will only ever be 2 themes.
Had to switch my theme back to normal dark from true black cause black usernames weren’t showing. Def some work needed on the he additional theme. Overall digging the update tho
I’ve been using Vendetta with a custom stylesheet for mobile which does the AMOLED theme much better than discord, haven’t used the new app yet and I’m honestly contemplating whether I should get the old android native app running again.
Granted, apps can lock you out if you don’t have a certain version, but by and large, you should be able to choose to update when there’s this drastic of a change
What? All I am seeing is stars. That’s how I know you entered your password correctly. Passwords entered via this form input are automatically masked as stars.
To everyone complaining about the updates; it’s likely that after a week or so you will just get used to the new layout and won’t even think about it anymore.
Personally, I have no issues with the update. Took about 5 mins to understand the changes move on. I also welcome the true black theme. Will save a decent amount of battery on my phone.
There are always people getting annoyed by changes, doesn’t matter what the changes are. Sometimes I get the impression that humans just need something to be annoyed about.
Honestly it’s desktop that drives me insane though. I remember I used to have it hard linked to an old hack that used the old layout still, but they took that away a while ago now.
I wouldn’t really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.
I was in this same boat until I realized I can't send images from mobile right now and looking around for others talking about it, there were complaints that images they sent were sent to the wrong people or chats. If true, that's insanely incompetent for a business or their size.
Oh shit I was just fighting this I didn’t even bother googling it tho cause I just thought discord was being jank for me Not it being a everyone problem
Knowing how their desktop app works on Linux (or more specifically doesn’t and requires you to mingle with it if you want any degree of Wayland awareness) it doesn’t surprise me their app remake (because it’s not just a redesign) is total garbage. I hope they get around to fixing the performance and bugs; but as things are right now I’m staying on Vendetta and refuse to update.
