As former Slack users, threaded messaging is huge for us. I wonder if teams who landed on Mattermost before using an alternative which used threaded messaging feel the same way?
Note: you do need to flip the feature flag to try it out:
Account Settings > Display > Collapsed Reply Threads (Beta).
- paulddraper 5y agoThreads are deal killer for Slack. Twist is kinda unreliable and flaky. But I'll put up with anything to get sane threading.
- XorNot 5y agoI don't understand this post, are you saying threaded messaging in Slack is good?
- snuxoll 5y agoPersonally I cannot stand threaded messaging - maybe it’s the IRC user in me, but I cannot stand having new messages randomly pop up at random points instead of at the bottom. If you have a discussion that is longer term or needs a separate context then spin it off to a different/new channel, otherwise I’ll spend forever searching for it again anyway.
- feanaro 5y agoThis is an UX problem. There's supposed to be a list of threads so that you can find the one you're looking for easily. A thread is essentially a lite channel which shares all of the members of the original channel automatically.
- toadi 5y agogod I have hundreds of threads and I hate it....
- spockz 5y agoMattermost has both! Messages always appear in sequence. Replies in a thread are visually identified as reply including the thread it is part of. This way you can do both grouping of discussions and follow the discussions from higher over.
