How to Improve Desidime? (A Discussion Post)

I wanted to bring up a few issues and suggestions to improve the overall experience on Desidime, particularly for all users & group owners :


1️⃣ Notification Issue: 

There’s a recurring problem where group owners are not receiving notifications when co-owners post. This issue has been confirmed by others, including @Hasdachehra . It’s important for group management to function smoothly, so fixing this would be a significant improvement.


2️⃣ Group Broadcast Limits: 

For groups with many subscribers, especially those focused on grocery deals (❤️‍🔥 MRP Mukt Mandal ❤️‍🔥), it would be great if the broadcast limit could be increased to accommodate the larger audience. 

     •• Additionally, it would be very helpful to have a feature on both the website and app that shows how many broadcasts are left for the day. For example, if the default limit is 10, it could display "10 broadcasts left" when posting, so we can easily manage our remaining quota for the day.

     •• Currently, we have to manually ask co-owners how many broadcasts were sent, which is quite hectic. Having this feature would streamline the process significantly.


3️⃣ Group Deletion Setting: 

I previously requested a change to the group deletion setting. Currently, the delete option is too prominent when viewing a group. I almost accidentally deleted my group once, and it could be catastrophic if a group with thousands of subscribers—like @Luciferous 's—were to be deleted by mistake. Although there’s a confirmation step, I believe the delete option should be moved inside the group settings, rather than being on the main display.

4️⃣ Follow Notifications: 

It would be great to have an option to receive notifications whenever someone we follow posts something. For example, if a user like @babubeg @BILLA007 posts, I’d want to get notified immediately. This feature would help us stay updated on posts from our favorite creators without missing out. It doesn't have to be for everyone, but it could be an optional setting where we can choose to follow someone and receive notifications about their updates. This would enhance user engagement and interaction on the platform, much like similar features on Facebook or other social media platforms. 


5️⃣ Community-Driven Moderation System: 

Introducing a system where posts that receive 10+ downvotes are automatically put into moderation and hidden could help reduce the spread of potentially low-quality or spammy content. This would maintain the quality of posts on the platform. Additionally, the ability to downvote could be reserved for users with higher ranks, like Deal Subedar and above. These experienced users could act as a first line of moderation, deciding which posts deserve visibility and which should be reviewed.

        This system would:

     •• Enhance user engagement by giving trusted members more responsibility.

     •• Foster a more community-driven moderation process.

     •• Improve efficiency in reducing spam and low-quality content.

     •• This system would not only curb spam but also limit users who post 10-20 deals back-to-back—possibly using bots—to gain Karma or dimes. Community-based moderation would prevent these spammy posts from flooding the Hot Deals section, leaving it up to the main moderators or admins to decide whether these posts should be promoted.

Overall, this approach would ensure the platform remains a valuable and high-quality resource for all users. 


6️⃣ Chat-Bug: 

The chat section has several issues where messages aren't displayed accurately. For instance, when chatting with someone, the messages don’t appear in the correct order and show up in random spots instead of the most recent area. Unless I manually refresh the chat, I can't see the latest messages properly. Additionally, after the recent update, messages sometimes appear twice, which adds to the confusion. Fixing this would ensure a smoother and more accurate messaging experience for users.

@Pratikkkkkk very important discussion.

I have few suggestions. Some of that I think would be appropriate for this topic.

One of which is:

assigning a  location ( a city or disctrict in a State)  to our own profile. So when location time sensitive deals ( Loot deals/ flash deals)  come for that location,  specific people can be quickly notified. That way maximum DD users can utilise the deal.

If a product deal or grocery deal is also available in other locations Dimers should have some way to quickly add it to the list locations that deal is available.

The simplest implementation I can think of is... Having reserved user ID for all the metro cities.

Like "@Kolkata" "@Bangalore" etc.   If a ( location specific) deal is available there, dimers can tag that username ( City username) in a deal, that would sent alerts to the Dimers of that City. Atleast ones who wants to get such location specific alerts.



I have few more such suggestions, I need to work on the finer details.

Can we build a full gift card purchase feature with real money instead of dimes?

I think this will help the site financially a bit.

Another extremely annoying bug – whenever we open a link from Desidime, it redirects within the Desidime app to a webpage (like Flipkart or Amazon), which is fine. However, if we switch to a recent tab or even receive a phone call, the entire webpage, along with any progress (like reaching the payment page), just disappears! It's really frustrating. If you need further clarification, feel free to ask me in DM, and I can share a screen recording....

Edit- see, here when i minimise the tab, all the webpage just vanishes... And i am left with nothing, but the post again!

Apart from UI and notification bug, I would like to highlight repeating topics that are created daily like best way to pay cc bill, 5% cb on amazon gv etc. I'm sick of replying to each topic and I want them to be sticky and easy for the visitor to check, even the new dimers will be aware of such topics before creating their accounts on DD.

Notification should be an instant, so that it gives an everyone a fair chance to grab any deal. Without this, normal users are going to congratulate others (pro ones) for lifetime or may stop using it.

My addition to this post would be :

Sample protection Firewall is required.

samples are being copied and posted to TG channels due to this Dimers are facing challenges to order samples.

Suggestion:

1. Banning use of word Sample in deals.

Point no.1 Group Notification  is an age old problem and several  alerts to admins but no resolution  until recently  it was repaired , but again  notification  are very late and some do vanish in the air and do not land , if 2 or 3  groups sent broadcat its like whoever is first .

Point no.2  ,it will be great to have countdown nos. of braodcst sent .


I had suggested to @bumblefoot  in the past to Recaliber all Group hotness to Zero every month ,so that  all groups passionately  work equally to rise there group every month and theres no monopoly of any particular  groups to remain  on Top every month with even less efforts as his group was on Top last month  and continue  to get the  benefit to  remain on Top .  Even the newer groups will get equal opportunity every month repeatedly  to grab  the position  and  it will be good  competitive and satisfying.

Also  abolish  co owner  system  in groups @admin , as  as  of now  its  like  a  outsourced contractual   paid  labour  kind  of  work  by group  owners  who  themselves  are  not interested  in there group with whatever reasons but  are  having  coowners  who  are  working  for  there  group .  Its  injustice   to  the original  groups owners  who are  work  really for  there  group , rather  than  coowners   who  handles  others groups.

Add 'Deal Talk' section to discuss the recently expired deals. Used to like that in the SlickDeals in the past, lots of interesting and useful discussions happen there. Reviews about the product, alternate methods to avail same deal, suggestions on similar products etc can be shared, which might be a useful info even though someone missed the deal.

On clicking notification of a deal added to some Group, it opens up a different Deal. ?

That 4 to 5 seconds Gap can lead to Deal Loss [ it drains blood from the brain and gives shocks to neurons ].

I also face the same issue! When we click on a notification, it usually doesn’t open the actual deal but instead shows the one that was previously loaded in the background.

@Pratikkkkkk @admin Karma logs screen shows blank. But after refreshing it works. similarly for fans of Section & fans section showing Blank after opening.

Most of the issues are resolved after refreshing. So  I think the issue is , it is not getting refreshed automatically. In chat also  recent conversation is visible only after refreshing.

Yes, bro, I'm facing exactly the same problem!
I've attached screenshots for reference. Screenshot2024-10-14-21-26-01-301app.desidime-edit Screenshot2024-10-14-21-25-48-366app.desidime-edit



Also, there's another bug. While uploading an image, the app doesn't show the most recent First image. It seems like the most recent 1st image is getting hidden under the camera icon.Screenshot2024-10-14-21-32-47-434app.desidime-edit

If possible make the notification pop up more than 30 at a point of time, its too restrictive for "many post subscribed" users at times, as post updates eats up notification

Absolutely Right.. For you specially as the most active Dimer.  Without  notifications how you manage is also very surprising for me.

@admin

to avoid trading scams, i want to suggest one thing

how about making Deal Newbies without chat option , that way they can't trade easily WITH NEW ALT ACCOUNTS, they have to post only comments in their own post to trade, that way other people who sees their comment will kinda guess its scam or fake:)

i mean only enable DM/chat option only for 1000 karma or more people

hope this will make this a little better:)
