"Thread function" appeared in Discord, review actually used

×review

In the case of a chat channel with many users, it is very likely that multiple topics will be developed in parallel, and "I wonder what topic this message is about." Discord, a chat tool for gamers, has added a "thread function" that allows you to expand threads from normal message channels and make messages for specific topics easier to understand. So I actually tried using it.

First, click the "+" on the left side of the text channel to enter a message, then click "Create thread".

The new thread creation screen appears in the right sidebar. You can set the thread's name, starter message, and how long it will be automatically archived.

You can also create a "private thread" that can only be viewed by invited people and moderators, but you need level 2 or higher of the server billing plan "Boost".

Send messages to the thread itself from the input field on the right.

When there was a new message in the thread, a notification was displayed like "2 messages".

If you want to change the settings of the created thread later, you can select "Edit Thread" from the menu icon in the upper right.

In "Edit Thread", you can set the name of the thread, slow mode setting, and time to archive. The slow mode setting is an item that cannot be set at the time of thread creation, and is a function that sets a limit when the thread flow is too fast.

In "Notification Settings", you can change notifications for each thread.

There are four types of automatic archiving: 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week. On non-charged servers, there are only 1 hour / 24 hour options, and on servers with Boost level 1 applied, the option of 3 days is available, and on level 2, the option of 1 week is released.

You can also quickly create a thread by selecting "Create Thread" from the menu icon on the right side of the message. With this method, you can thread the topic that is being developed in the main text channel as it is.

In the channel list column, threads are shown hanging from text channels. If you select "Display at maximum size" from this column, you can display the thread in the same range as a normal text channel.

In a channel with a large number of users, a thread that collects only messages on a specific topic is very useful. Also, the fact that you can automatically set the thread name to make it easy to understand what the thread is, and the fact that even if the thread is automatically archived, it prevents the threads from being crowded. was. It is said that the thread function will be deployed sequentially, and as of July 27, 2021, it has been deployed to 10% of all servers, and is scheduled to be deployed to all servers by the end of the fifth week of July. . However, in the community server, the thread function will not be turned on by default until August 17th, so from the "Thread Early Access" item in the server settings tab, select "Enable Threads." It is said that it is necessary to turn on the toggle "Enable)".
