Discord drive me nuts. Please help!

Hello everybody, and Happy New Year.
I recently joined discord but the application is driving me nuts.
My problem is when I log in a discussion from the last time I logged in, in order to read all the messages I have to swipe left all the way up until I find the messages I haven't read. Unfortunately the application breaks the messages into small groups of messages and in order to read earlier messages I have to press load more messages. However if I hear the load more messages button and forget to press it immediately the application takes me back at the most recent message in the messages list. So I have to swipe left again to go to the beginning of the messages list and make sure that I press load more messages at the exactly the right time. The problem gets even worse if I haven't read the messages for a whole day and then I need to press load more messages three or four times exactly at the right time. If one time I am not very precise then the cycle starts all over again. Sometimes I want to throw my phone on the wall. All this process makes reading a lot of messages really tedious and not intuitive at all. Any help and tips? Unfortunately there is no web version working for the iphone. Thank you very much in advance.

How do you read pinned messages on the mobile version of discord? I can do it on windows, but haven't tried it on Mac.

You can use the vertical scroll bar on the right side of your screen to navigate more quickly and easily through the message list. It's a little weird because with Discord things are kind of in reverse. Scrolling upward actually takes you DOWN the feed so that when you hit 0% you'll be on the most recent message. Scrolling downward on the other hand goes backward through the feed, and once you get to 100% you'll be at the top of the list of currently loaded messages. This is a pretty reliable way to find the "load more messages" button, it should always be at the very top of your screen when you navigate all the way to 100%.

Double tap and hold the name of the channel at the top of the screen to bring up the menu with the option to read pinned messages.
