Add quote reply in addition to collapsed threads
Currently, in order to reply to someone a few messages back, you hit the reply button and it goes into a thread. Alternatively, Mattermost could add a quote button on messages next to the reply button. When you click quote button it should work like reply in modern messengers with text of the message or part of it and name of the creator of the message.
Threads are useful, but creating them for replying to paticular messages can be a bit of an overkill.17 votes -
Sort Emojis
It would be great if it was possible to sort emojis manually as to promote certain internal custom emojis.

Alt text for user-posted images
Users should be able to add alt text to their images. This is actually necessary to comply with accessibility legislation in Canada.

Add an option to require explicit opt in consent when registering a new user
Currently, disclaimer text exists in Mattermost directing users to the privacy policy and terms of use, below the create account button (user registration page). I propose that these should be explicit opt-ins using a checkbox or radio button pairing, rather than an assumed opt-in.
Regulations will differ around the world, and people's preferences will differ, so this should probably be a configuration option rather than a flat behavour change.

Thread Profile Icon
I hope you can set the profile icon to appear on all posts regardless of timing.
By the way, Rocket.Chat groups in 300 seconds by default.
It seems that you can change the number of seconds that are grouped.1 vote -
Allow users to reset "Do not ask me again" prompts
A Jira issue (https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-4815) implemented a modal pop-up that prompts users to reset their presence to "Online" when they first open the client in cases where they previously set their status to "Away" or "Offline" in the UI.
Once you select "Do not ask me again" you are never asked again. As a downside, there is no way to reset this prompt. You're stuck with your decision forever... unless you can hunt through the Mattermost DB to delete the right value from the right table.
Users should be able to reset any "do not ask me again" prompts…

Line numbers for code blocks
When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.

seen messages in direct message or channel
In Telegram you can see who read the message in channel.
I think it's good feature, because right now I gotta set reaction on message to let know user who mentioned me that I read it and he doesn't need to repeat it me in DM. also we want this on direct message

Support for syntax highlighting in Mattermost Boards
Mattermost Boards should support, in Cards text content, code blocks with language specification. For example:
// Your First Program class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } }Refer also to the following issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/23627

Option to make username invisible
When creating a post or searching for users to add to teams or channels, only the full name or nickname should appear and the username should be hidden according to a configuration.
In my case, a username is linked to a worker's ID, which is pretty personal and long to show.

data retention/purge in open source edition
I occasionally check in, to see, if mattermost is usable, now.
Instead, you made it worse.
You deleted the original thread from years ago:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/36989788-make-data-retention-and-prune-reset-clear-availablThis is still wide open:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457/suggestions/15357861It would be nice to propose switching to mattermost, but as it stands, it is still unusable.
There's clearly a need:

I voted for the first time (couldn't bother signing up so far). But reading this post, this is at least from 2016. Seems you do not care for new users.

Draw.io Integration
Similar to Boards, it would be advantageous to have the ability to draw charts collaboratively with the rest of the team within the MM app. Draw.io is an open source software with permissive licensing so it wouldn't be too much work to implement this feature relatively quickly.

Highlight part of conversation
It'd be lovely if there was a way to highlight text in an ongoing thread/discussion. It's quite common that when posting long texts, the responding person/people miss part of what has been entered.
E.g. I'll enter three paragraphs of text, the person/people responding completely miss out on what's entered in the second paragraph. Rather than having to enter "As I was saying, above, in my second paragraph...", it'd be very useful to be able to highlight a block of text.
Not sure if I should only be able to highlight parts of my own text, or any text.

Display all unsent draft messages in one place
Every once in a while, I stumble upon an old draft I started typing, never finished or sent, in various locations (public / private channels, direct messages, threads...). It's nice that the icon next to the location is sometimes showing clearly that I have a draft there, but with many channels/DMs/threads I still risk losing a draft.

Allow to disable thread autofollow when whole channel was mentioned.
Add parameter that allows Mattermost admin, to disable thread autofollow while having collapsed reply thread turned on while mass mentions are used (@channel, @all, @here).
I want my users to get notification, but not to follow this thread automatically, afaik, this is not possible at this moment, because thread autofollow must be set to true in config.json, for collapsed reply thread to work.43 votes -
URL search modifier
Ability to filter searches by URLs similar to how we can filter by messages and files today (https://docs.mattermost.com/channels/search-for-messages.html#search-modifiers), to make it easier to find URLs in posts.

Cache emojis on server from S3
The Mattermost server downloads every emoji as the user requests it from S3. To minimize S3 traffic the emojis should be cached server side so every request does not need to hit S3.

Filter out inactive users in Mattermost system console user list
Mattermost system console user list should allow to filter out inactive users, or in other words to only show active users and admins.
Right now you only have following options:
"All users"
"System Admins"
"Guests"
"Inactive"So an option "All Active users" should be added.
Also a filter to show only users which has/has not enabled MFA would be very useful

search in message attachments
Allow search in message attachments. Currently, searching for text inside a message attachment doesn't produce any results. I suspect that this is similar to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/19061098-allow-message-attachments-to-generate-mentions
