I’ve been a Discord Nitro subscriber since Day 1, upgraded to the highest tier as soon as tiers were introduced, and somehow, in all these years, I’ve never been selected to beta test a single feature.

I’m on Discord daily, for both professional and leisure, and consistently use the latest iPhone (work provided). I also have over 10yr of experience in design and coding, so testing new features, identifying issues, and providing meaningful feedback is something I’d genuinely enjoy contributingg.

I understand beta access is limited, and being a longtime subscriber doesn’t automatically warrant an invitation. Still, it’s a little disappointing to have been so invested in the platform for so long without ever getting the opportunity to participate.

In the last 3 years using the app, I’ve also never been redirected to a survey.

I’d love to see Discord offer more opportunities for longtime and active users to get involved in shaping the platform they use every day, it’s so weird.

So they added this new (it's new right? well anyways I only noticed it yesterday) "challenges" thing in your profile which you can earn orbs for. I haven't found any official news reports on this, so I have a few questions:

Firstly, does anyone know how often these will refresh? Or is it just gonna be like "you have to do this one to unlock the next"? In that case it's hot garbage because:

Secondly, IS IT JUST PURE FALSE ADVERTISING? I went to the shop, bought an item for 4100 orbs and didn't get shit. I reckon they meant you need to buy an item from their cringy Halloween shop (it is cringe for 30 bucks per pack) for real money. Pretty neat huh?

Logging into discord in a new browser so standard “I’m not a bot” stuff but… what??? What is this??? I’m so dumbfounded.

PS, some accounts may not have this feature.

So I had a 2 month free trial for Nitro (I forgot if it was from xbox or just an offer from them)

But I recieved an email saying I'd be charged the regular $9.99 after this billing cycle.

As I was looking at it, it says I will be charged for $0.00 on the new billing cycle and that I have 2 months of credit. ?

Probably a dumb obvious question but just want to be sure. Does this confirm I wont be charged on Oct 5th and I'll have 2 extra months for free?

To be clear, idk how I even recieved these credits and just learned of them today when I was going to cancel.

Edit: Thank you for the replies and the questions had been answered. Sorry if they seemed pretty obvious but it's just my luck I assume and then get charged. I'll leave this post up for anyone else having the same questions. :D

It's all on see so so what do I do? Is this a bug in the system, or is it my phone can someone please help me

It's so confusing. I tried to upgrade from the Basic plan to Nitro, and I went to cancel the Basic plan. But now I can't do anything else? Why is it so hard for the app to let me just pay for Nitro right away instead of having to wait all this time to upgrade? I just want to pay for Nitro now and get the benefits right away. But it's such a huge hassle.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand how Discord decides whether to display the "X online" counter underneath a channel/server name on mobile.

For example, I have two Discord servers:

Server A: shows 🟢 11 online underneath the channel name.

Server B: does not show an online member count at all.

Both servers:

are Community servers

have no boosts

are being viewed from the same Discord account

are being viewed on the same Android phone/app

I've checked the server settings but can't find any option that controls this.

Is there an actual setting that determines whether the "X online" counter is displayed?

Or is this currently an A/B test, gradual rollout, or server-side experiment by Discord?

If it's based on a specific requirement (number of members, server age, activity, Community settings, etc.), does anyone know what the criteria are?

I've attached screenshots showing the difference between the two servers.

Thanks!
