The marker can't stay on any previous message, can it?

That's it. When a user write a message implies that he/she has already read all previous messages. El 26 de noviembre de 2025 10:48:16 CET, Benoit Marty ***@***.***> escribió:

I guess we could hide the read marker client-side if we consider it redundant, but this needs a product decision.

That's it. When a user write a message implies that he/she has already read all previous messages.

But if other messages are sent by other people, the read receipt of the first user (someone) will be missing (assuming they have not read the new messages)? It will have to be displayed under the message that this user has sent, so I do not think that this is a good idea.

When other people send new message, if no read marker appears it's asssumed that the last message he/she read was the message he/she wrote. Other clients like fluffychat do that. El 26 de noviembre de 2025 14:30:14 CET, Benoit Marty ***@***.***> escribió:
