Feature request: Control Visibility of Hidden Channels When New Messages Are Received.

Open Sanjuhub opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

I would like to have more control over the visibility of hidden channels when new messages are received.

Currently, if a channel is hidden using the channel.hide() method and a new message is received on that channel, it will automatically become visible again. This can be problematic for users who wish to keep certain channels hidden for privacy or organizational reasons.

I propose a new feature that allows users to control the visibility of hidden channels when new messages are received. Specifically, I suggest implementing a new option in the channel.hide() method that prevents the channel from automatically becoming visible when a new message is received. Instead, the channel would remain hidden until the user calls channel.show() method on that channel.

This new feature would give users more control over the visibility of their channels and allow them to maintain privacy and organization in their chat rooms.
