I muted like 5 servers on Discord because they were too spammy, but I keep getting notifications anyway even though I have them set to mute all. It's been happening for the past month. Am I missing something in the settings or is this a bug?
Folks above nailed it - muting a server just silences the chat feed, it doesn't kill the notifications. You need to go into each server's notification settings specifically and set them to "Mute all" or "Ignore @everyone and @here", which is a separate step from the mute button. I had the exact same problem a while back where I thought muting meant no alerts, then realized I was getting pinged anyway because I'd only hidden the messages, not the actual pings.
There's a difference between muting a server and muting notifications - you might have only muted the server itself, which just hides messages from the chat but doesn't stop alerts. Check the server settings (right-click the server name) and make sure you've got notifications set to "Mute all" specifically, not just the general mute toggle. If you've already done that and it's still happening, try unmuting and remuting the server to refresh the settings, since sometimes Discord glitches with notification preferences and needs a reset to catch up.
