Threads

[code3z]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It can get very cluttered with everyone talking in the same channel. It would be really, really amazing to have threads like in discord. They're kind of like sub-channels that are tied to a specific message and can be created by anyone. For instance, someone could bring up an issue and we could create a thread on that message.

Proof that it is possible:

Threading is not part of the spec yet. You can refer to the proposal here - MSC3440 - Threading.

And so cinny implementing something custom will only result in a rewrite when it is part of the spec.

[code3z]

Ah okay. I hope it gets implemented because rooms are going to be hard to organize.

[C0ffeeCode]

It would still be a nice to have.

MSC3440 has been finalised and merged into the spec.
Probably it's one of the most desired features in Element, so after the next Element release, it will be used a lot, and if someone want to participate in busy rooms, it will be a necesary feature for that.
Probably @ajbura is waiting for this feature to be implemented fully in Matrix JS SDK.

Threads are currently in beta on Element and are already used by some people in chats and groups.

@ajbura, @notramo are threads in the roadmap for Cinny? If so, what could be the timeframe for its implementation?

[PaarthShah]

MSC3440 has been merged to the spec as of March 9th, 2022, and has been an incredibly useful feature. I'd say it's the only reason I'm still tied to Element/Schildichat, and I'd definitely love to be able to use Cinny full-time with this feature.

Hello,
Any news on this ?
Thanks

[dr497]

Are threads on the roadmap?

[ShadowJonathan]

Anecdote: I've been using threads extensively in DMs, and I'd like to see another implementation other than Element offer them

waiting for threads

Any movement on this? Or is this dead in the water waiting for someone to work on an implementation?

This really should be added to the public roadmap. This is a killer feature and prevents me from moving managed Discord communities to Cinny+Matrix (Element is VERY cluttered and users have not liked it).
