A bit off topic, but anyone know if Threads are something Matrix currently supports, or ever wants to support?
My family uses Signal for _a lot_, likely way more than we should, and i feel like we'd benefit from threads immensely.
Maybe i should toy with making my own Matrix client or something, heh.
edit: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2349 https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2349 looks like it might exist in some beta form. Depending on the client heh
- jeroenhd 5y agoThreads are supported on Matrix as of a week or two ago. They're no longer in beta as far as I can tell. I don't know for sure how well alternative clients support them, but desktop and mobile versions of Element do threads just fine. Alternatives (Fluffychat, for example) are usually a while behind Element because of manpower. For example, native polls are in Element but not in Fluffychat yet. So, if you want to risk the transition, best to recommend the official clients first. That said, I don't know how well threads will actually work in a family context. I like them as a concept, but outside Google Chat (where every message in a room is a response to or the start of a thread) I haven't seen them get picked up naturally.
- Arathorn 5y agoyup, it’s currently in testing on element web/ios/android and you can play with it in beta.
- kevincox 5y agoThreads are in beta on the Element clients. IIUC the spec isn't quite solidified (they are waiting for more clients to experiment first).
