I suggest jester visiting someone tonight would mess up with his message. Like,
You are Doc, visited by jester only
Someone tried to kill you but you survived somehow/You were killed and nursed back.
I find it more entertaining for jester.

The problem with this is that then Jester would have a legitimate effect on the game- outside of his character and the guilty-suicide.
Jester, as it stands, is 100% focused around the lynch and the suicide. That already has a LARGE effect on the game in terms of who the Town wants to lynch.
Scum looking player with bad defense- Jester
That Consig that is blindly saying random things- Jester
Serial Killer that outed himself- Jester
'Cit/Sin'- might be Jester
To throw in a confusing effect during the night messages would have a large swing in the game in terms of what roles were expected to be run into.
- Jester does this to Investigator.
- Investigator assumes there is Serial Killer in game, since no SK kills. (for example)
- Investigator proceeds to lynch all Doctors.
- Arson win.
This type of ability is one I use in games in person, but throwing it onto the Jester would turn him from something that makes lynches more hesitant to something that causes a lot of role confusion.
Or he would be able to successfully WIFOM Doctor. But that doesn't seem to work very well for his objective. lol
Other feedback messages might work, but this one in particular would be too large in the game.
He could just do random things like Doused, Witched, and alike. But you are right.
The problem with these is that neither ever shows up anymore lol.
People don't like to turn on Doused or Witched settings. And, also, Witched feedback would likely have an even larger effect on the game than the attacked/healed.
Really, what I think you want is for the Forum Mafia 'Drug Dealer' role to come into effect. lol.
Jester is just lame. Do everything and get lynched. fine, Declined.
How about that the Jester can annoy someone on the day?
that would have no effect, except Jester teaming up with someone using his annoying signals?
Make the jailor suicide if he executes a jester. that would make the jailor more careful about who he executes.
This makes a lot of sense. And seeing as Jailor is effectively a night-time trial, he would be the 1 'guilty' voter. However, Vigilante Jailor and Veteran are the ways for Town to remove Jesters without taking a hit. So adding a suicide effect to any of them would hurt that.
I have been quite a fan of making Jester do a bit more with his annoy ability.
But actually doing something does not suit this role well. What I prefer to see is the Jester causing randomized flashing of either the witched flash, rb flash, attacked/healed flash. But the flashes only.
