Discord is a widely used communication platform that connects people through communities known as servers. One of the features in this application is a prompt labeled “Done reading? Check out other channels,” which appears after you finish browsing a channel’s messages. We understand that while this feature is meant to improve user navigation, it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than help, especially when it pops up unexpectedly and redirects you to other channels.
The process to remove or disable this prompt isn’t straightforward since Discord has not provided an official way to customize this feature, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to manage. Workarounds involve steps like adjusting your user settings or using Discord’s various modes to change what you’re presented with after reading messages. We’re here to guide you through these alternatives to enhance your Discord experience so that it suits your personal preferences for uninterrupted communication.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
When encountering the “Done Reading” feature issues on Discord, several effective solutions can be implemented to resolve it. We’ll tackle clearing cache, implementing updates, and ensuring proper server and channel access.
Clearing Cache
If we’re facing persistent problems with the “Done Reading” feature on Discord, clearing the cache is a crucial first step. This process removes temporary files that could be causing the issue. Here’s how we can clear the cache:
On Desktop:
- Close Discord entirely using the Task Manager.
- Navigate to the cache folder (typically located in the AppData directory).
- Delete all files within the cache folder.
On Mobile:
- Go to your device settings.
- Find Discord under the list of installed apps.
- Select ‘Storage’ and then ‘Clear Cache’.
Update and Bug Fixes
Frequently, bugs are addressed in newer versions of apps, and Discord is no different. We ensure that we’re running the most current version of Discord to fix existing issues with the “Done Reading” feature. Checking for updates is a simple task that can be done within the Discord app or your device’s app store. If an update is available, we install it immediately since updates often include important bug fixes.
Server and Channel Access
Sometimes, problems with the “Done Reading” feature may stem from issues related to our server or channel permissions. We must verify if the read-only channel is intended or mistakenly set by an admin. Adhering to server rules is also crucial. To send messages or interact properly, we make sure we have the necessary permissions. If we lack permissions, we might need to contact the server admin or check if there have been any changes to server rules that affect our access.
Optimizing User Experience
Our focus is to enhance the ease of use and functionality of Discord servers, addressing issues like the Done Reading feature and ensuring fluid navigation within the Discord web app.
Customizing Server Features
As regular Discord users, we understand the importance of streamlining server interactions, especially during gaming sessions. A feature that often requires attention is the Done Reading feature, which intends to simplify moving between channels. However, if it’s proving to be a nuisance, customizing or disabling server features that do not fit our workflow is essential. For most users this can be done by:
By tailoring server settings, we can ensure a more refined experience. Configuring notifications or channel permissions can also significantly optimize how we engage with different servers.
Using the Discord web app can sometimes provide a smoother experience, especially when troubleshooting desktop app issues. To facilitate this, familiarity with keyboard shortcuts for navigation can considerably enhance our efficiency. The essentials include:
| Shortcut | Action |
| Ctrl + / | Open Keyboard Shortcuts |
| Ctrl + Alt + Up/Down | Switch Between Channels |
| Ctrl + K | Quick Switcher |
We recommend occasionally clearing the cache or using Discord lite versions on the web to mitigate high CPU usage. This practice can improve the web app’s load times and overall responsiveness, providing a scalable solution for both casual and power users.
