Managing notifications

On Discord, you have fine-grained control over which notifications you receive at which time.

Only receive notifications when you're mentioned

Channel-Specific Notifications

For the ones you're interested in, such as your project chat:

To keep getting notifications without getting a notification sound or your operating system's notification message pop-up, you can turn on Do Not Disturb mode.

Hide channels and categories in the left side panel

For channels you are not interested in, and to de-clutter your side panel.

Step 1: mute the channel

Step 2: Right-click on "open summer of code" (Channel name) & click "Hide Muted Channels"

You will now only receive a notification whenever people mention you.
