View Chats Without Joining Channel/Server

[RStokes43]

This is shaping up to be an awesome rival to Discord. I love being able to self host.

I do wish, in addition to server side persistence of messages as suggested in another issue, that we could view text chats in a server without needed to join the voice channel. Ideally, without joining the server at all. But even if you have to be in the default channel, that is fine. The ability to see the Chats of other channels in the server while remaining in the Default channel would be sufficient in my opinon.

Second that, any form of text-only interaction on a server would be great. Anyhow, welcome back TeamSpeak, it's been a while.

Dedicated Text only channels would also be great.

Yes PLEASE ! Not that hard to code btw, why after many years of discord isnt it ready yet ?

Like I mean, no group chat, real chat channels in dedicated servers, it doesn't work with matrix anymore ?

Yes, we agree that this would be a valuable feature. We actually started working on it in the past, but due to the number of other priorities currently on our plate, the topic has not come up again so far. It is still tracked internally in our ticket system.

In my opinion, since now is the time to capitalize on people losing interest in Discord, you should prioritize the one thing that keeps them on Discord. Honestly, it’s the only thing missing.

Thanks for your input — we understand why you see this as a key feature, especially in the current landscape.

At the same time, we wouldn’t frame it as the single deciding factor. Different user groups prioritize different things. For example, a significant number of users are also waiting for us to complete the SFU (server-side streaming) feature, which is equally important from a scalability and performance perspective.

Roadmap decisions require balancing multiple high-impact topics at once. Your feedback is noted and appreciated, and it helps us continuously evaluate where to focus next.
