Description

As a user with multiple servers/spaces connected, you do not see notification indicators directly per server.
They are hidden in a dropdown: Screenshot https://i.ibb.co/wcD1MBZ/Bildschirmfoto-2022-02-01-um-14-03-09.png
Also a user needs to click twice if he/she has multiple servers connected.

e.g. in Slack there is a small sidebar, on the far left, to give users a quick overview of their "servers"/spaces and also a notification element per space.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Mattermost desktop application's current space/server switcher and notification indicators. Compare that behavior with the issue's Slack sidebar example; done means users can switch spaces in one action and see notification indicators for each connected server or space.
