Need the ability to comment on my own activity such as watch activity or a rating activity. Also can comments be threaded so replies are nested and not new comments?

I shouldn’t have used the word “need” haha. My fault. Would be nice to put context to a rating. Or start a thread on an item.

It could be useful for making comments on issues we have reported. While reporting issues isn’t designed for use by the server owner it will be useful to make track or make a note of what needs fixed when we dont have time to fix it right now
Why not? 
Set an option to disable history sent by email or change the frequency: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/x2cbmj/dear_plex_please_stop_sending_a_mail_every_day_by/
Many people don’t want to receive one email per day by default.

I shared the new Lord Of The Ring tv show with a little text to some of my friends via Discover.
So now they can see the card in their Discover but they can’t reply to my message. Am I missing something or they simple can’t communicate with me (yet)?
@Tangs they should see a reply button on the bottom right of the card. Which app are they using?are they looking at activity tab or the activity on the particular items detail page?
Thank you, this is what I am trying to figure out, it seems that they saw my call via emails
Can’t access my streaming services on Amazon Fire Stick. I can see my streaming services and shows, and when I click a show I see a notification to access the show via the streaming app with the app logo showing underneath - all good so far - but when I click the app logo I get an error that it can’t access the app. Don’t have this issue on the web version on Chrome on PC. Guessing Amazon Firestick is not a supported client at the moment, is that correct? If so, when is support for it to be launched?
Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow “deep linking” out of the Plex app into other apps on the Fire TV platform. That’s something Amazon has chosen not to allow and not something we have control over ourselves. On platforms where it’s possible to deep link and we’re allowed to do so, we do support that functionality.

Yes!! I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure the artwork on my server is exactly as I’d like it. It’s very disappointing to see this missing when viewing media on the Discover page.
Another feedback item: it would be great to have an option to navigate to the Discover/mediaverse page from an item’s server page. I might want an easy way to see where else something is available.

I’ve been taking some notes on a few more suggestions, but I wanted to post one thing as soon as I could.
I really think the Activity, Friends, and Profile pivots should be moved out of the Discover section and into the Home section alongside the Home and Watchlist pivots. Or perhaps just merge Home & Discover entirely.
These social/profile pivots don’t belong in a Discovery section on the left navigation bar, they belong in a users Home tab.
Alternatively merging Home and Discover would also make sense as Watchlist and Discover would be under the same tab.

Huh? When I go to my Plex server’s music section and select say an album, I see a bunch of information about the album, related albums, etc. Where did that info come from if not Plex?
And regardless, you cannot inform the other Plex user who is registered to use my Plex server with a link to go to this album page.
I don’t understand…
MusicBrainz, Allmusic
Yes and I suspect that info for things like movies and TV series comes from external services too. Yet I can share them but not albums. Hence my confusion…
Another question here. I have some friends who are active on my PMS yet I show no activity under View Profile > Friends. Others show pretty recent activity. Still, others show history from a year ago though I know they were recently active.
How does this work? For example, one friend shows no activity yet from Tautulli I see they binged 7 episodes of Cobra Kai last night. What gives? Is there something I can do to turn on the recording of the activity? Or do the end users have to do that? And if so how do they do it? (And how do you convenience them when so many people worry in such a paranoid fashion about being tracked)?
Yes. Each user has to decide that for themselves. And the default is to NOT share the user’s activity. So the users have to make a conscious decision and set it explicitly to “visible”.
This is already mentioned above, in the first post of this thread.
They go to https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/profile
Where they can use the “Edit Profile” button to set their preferences.
So, you can only ask them to participate. And you’ll have to accept it if they decide that they don’t want to.
Asked and answered…
A month and a half on, here’s my feedback thus far:
I am seeing extraordinarily low buy in. The activity feed is almost exclusively mine. I have seen a few places where one of the younger users has added things to his watchlist but I believe I’ve only seen that in the pages for those items as I was looking for things to add.
I mentioned this a while back, but I think the buy in for this is low because there’s little to no way to manage the feature from the client end apps. I don’t think any of my users have ever seen the web interface. I direct them to create an account before I invite them, and that’s about the end of their web experience.
I went into the Roku (which most of my users seem to use) looking to poke around to see the user experience there and I was super surprised to learn that it’s nowhere to be found? I think once it’s rolled out, or moved to an easier place to find, that you’d see more activity.
I still think it’s a fun idea. I wish it could be more accessible in primary user facing areas.
