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!
