Customizable alerts (following, leaving comments, etc) for your world

New Feature Addition · World management · Created by Stormbril
accepted
customization commenting following world-configuration custom-content follow comment social

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

This small suggestion is in line with how we're able to customize what our world followers are called; what I think would be additionally cool would be being able to customize the alerts that pop up on your world when someone follows or comments (or other alerts I have forgotten) on it.   Right now the default alerts are:
Leaving comments: "Your comment has been posted!"
Following: "You are now following -WORLDNAME-" and "You are no longer following -WORLDNAME-"  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Instead of having just the default alerts, full customization of them would allow for much more thematic and in-universe style alerts. The customization of these alerts could be located in the same current location as the followers naming, within your world configuration > social settings.
  For comments, things like this could be made:
"You words have entered the ether"
"You have screamed into the void"
"The gods have recieved your message"   Or, you could have fun making references to other IPs.
    And for following, it lets us connect them to the unique names for followers that we can already customize:
"You are now a weary traveler in the world of Cathedris"
"You find yourself in an unfamiliar space"
   

What are other uses for this feature request?

There's even the opportunity to add links into this -- providing a unique prompt to do something the instant someone follows your world:
"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to -link here of something your new follower should check out first-, right?"

      Maybe others would get more use from this than I would. It seems fun, but not super important compared to other features - for me, anyway.

      I think this would be a lot of fun, if it's not that difficult to implement.

      Yes please! I can see so many uses for these. It would fit subscriber groups as well as a nice specific welcome message to something. ^^ 11/10

      Wait this is actually such a good idea! It'd also probably get the community to interact with each other more so they can see the different alerts for each world. I know I would.

      That would me amazing.   A message from "the Heist", or "The Harbinger of Eternity" or even "Dr Anvil" if they decide to join an organization. The possibilities are truly endless.

      Would love if we could make a list of randomized prompts that show up. So I can have things like, "You really thought that was clever didn't you?" for a comment but also "The ramblings of mad man? Quaint" also show up. I got lost in the sauce, I love this concept.

      This would be super neat. Additionally, I'd love to see some easier way to target and style these popups to match your theme (and also the roll dice result).
