Allow administrators to set emoji aliases
I've run in to several emoji that use a non-standard name in Mattermost, which I've found to be very confusing. One prime example is that the "party popper" emoji (as it's known on many other platforms) is called "tada" in Mattermost. I'd love to be able to set an alias of

direct constant url to newest stable release
hello folks.
mattermost-omnibus isn't a viable update mechanic for a lot of people as it has restrictions and is locked into several parts. IE - necessitates postgres and comes with nginx.
mattermost doesn't appear to have their own apt-repo so updating that way isn't an option. github releases need to be built/compiled.
i'm scripting my own update but I'm hitting a wall with how the URL for the newest release is formatted.
Could we please get a direct URL to the newest release?
Currently - https://releases.mattermost.com/5.32.1/mattermost-5.32.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Ideally - https://releases.mattermost.com/latest/mattermost-linux-amd64.tar.gz1 vote -
Don't cover message text with the hover toolbar buttons
When I point at a message, a group of about 4 icons appears at the top right of the message. My annoyance is that this icon group covers part of the text of the message I'm trying to read. Please reposition this button group so that it does not obscure the text.

Indicate which members muted the current channel
we are in a corporation with lots of mattermost teams and lots of channels.
I am member of a lot channels and some of them I just joined so people can ping me regarding the channel topic. I am not interessted in the chats within this channel until I am getting actively pinged.
It would be great if other channel members could see which members of the current channel actually muted the channel (and therefore need to be pinged to get involved)

mmctl user create Random Password Flag
As of now, the mmctl user create feature - https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/mmctl-cli-tool.html#mmctl-user-create - allows the user executing the command to manually set the password string.
It will be good to have the ability to generate a random alphanumeric password using some sort of flag. Eg. --passwordrandom

Member search sorting
Hi Team,
When sending a direct message, we can see a 'member search' selection, which currently seems like sorting in alphabetical order by username.
Could you provide an option to change the sorting criteria.
Thanks.

Name group direct message channel
Hi Team,
Please provide an option to name a group, instead of the current state that only shows the number of members and members' names.
Thank you.

Could you provide a feature to convert group messages to channel as discussed here

Use the setAppBadge API
Show the count of unread messages/notifications as a badge in browsers that support it. Installing Mattermost as a PWA would be closer to native apps if it used the setAppBadge/clearAppBadge APIs.

Emoji Delete Audit Logging
As of now, there is no audit logged in to the Audits table when an emoji gets deleted. The only way to find out about this is through the mattermost.log. For example:
{"level":"debug","ts":XXXXXXXX,"caller":"web/handlers.go:101","msg":"Received HTTP request","method":"DELETE","url":"/api/v4/emoji/<emoji_id>","requestid":"XXXXXXXX","statuscode":"200"}
It will be better to have this information logged into the Audits table for System Administrators to have the ability to trace this information.

make /commands referencable in post-text.
There are interactive message buttons, but they dont flow neatly in the text. It should be possible to write a longer post, and reference commands and parameters in the text.
Once the post is posted, they become clickable by everyone which would in some way ask for confirmation or just pre-fill the text-input-area and allow the users to execute said command.That way one could not even better educate users of (custom) commands, but could also help them prefill the arguments of commands.
Example: I could write:
hello there, it seems, like you want to use
/command asdffor asdf…3 votes -
Allow a user list in the right-hand side bar
The right hand sidebar for the Mattermost client seems to only support searching. Many chat-apps like Slack, Discord, and others include a list of users in the current channel in a sidebar that can be displayed at all times. I think this would be a great feature!

Allow user registration in mobile app
With 2021 and all the discussions on online privacy and their violations thereof by the big corporations going on, Mattermost has become all the more important.
It is disheartening to see that the mobile app still does not have the ability to register users.

Add posibility to share a file to many users or groups
In this moment, if I want to share the same file to many users or groups, I need to repeat share operation for every user or group. It would be great if you can add a intermediary screen for destination selection (like whatsapp), with multiple option for selection

Implement alt text/image captions
Please implement an option for users to embed screen reader-compatible descriptive captions in images they upload for accessibility purposes. While I recognize this can be done simply by posting the caption text alongside this image, this can be cumbersome if the description is very long (e.g., a screenshot that contains lots of text). Something similar to what Twitter and Instagram have implemented in their UI for alt text (minus the character limit) may be ideal.

Get alerted when the status of another user changes
I would like to get alerted when another user comes online.
In the proprietary messaging application that is also used in our organization, this feature is available as a right-click menu item labeled "Tag for Status Change Alerts", i.e. you can switch on/off alerts per user. I have always found it very useful so it would be a nice addition to Mattermost.

Enable Notifications when Mattermost is not Visible to the User
If a chat is selected when the desktop app is not visible or minimized, the user will not receive notifications for any new messages sent within the chat.
For example, If I am talking to Bob, then I shrink the desktop app with his name still selected in the left hand pane, or I open a new window and cannot see the Mattermost app, it wont notify me of a new message from Bob unless I make sure to click on a different chat window with someone else prior to moving my attention away from Mattermost.
I understand we wouldnt…

Add option to turn off default custom emojis
The title says it all: i.e. get rid of "the Doom guy" and other icons there. This option can go on the Emojis page in the System Console. An alternative implementation would be to list them in the custom emoji list and allow them to be individually deleted there.
