Add a super-feed of all my joined channels
Add a feed that shows all new messages across all channels I have joined.
This could either be a special channel, or something akin to an RSS feed.
I wouldn't expect the ability to post a new message to that channel, but commenting on a message should be possible. And it should be easy to move to and from a message's original channel.

Sync between redundant servers
In 2015, GitHub user titanous proposed adding support for more than one instance of the API server. (https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/402) It was suggested that it would be added before the 1.0 release, but the issue has since been closed without any changes. Since I didn't see this feature requested in this forum, I thought I would post it so that the community can vote on it.
I work with a team of five, all of whom have personal servers, one of which hosts our Mattermost instance. It would be useful for us if we could host as many as five…7 votes -

Create an ARM build pathway
Right now there's no approved way to do mattermost on ARM. I think ti'd be a great idea to fix that, and I'm working on fixing it myself. If I get a definitive result, I will post it in the regular forums and/or submit a pull request.

We’d love to work with someone to help build it as a LibreOffice plugin using our plugin framework: https://developers.mattermost.com/extend/plugins.
Anyone interested helping?

Multi-tag channels / tag creation on the fly
I am not sure if this has been implemented or not:
What I am looking for is the possibility of participants to subscribe to certain tags and create meta-channels that participants can generate by selecting multiple tags.
(I would like to use Mattermost to allow for informal discussions at my research institutes - across different research groups. The idea is to find common interests, needs, etc.)

Create a Sandstorm app
Mattermost seems to be a good candidate for making a Sandstorm app. Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/ allows for secure bottling of web-apps. Many of the apps currently in the ecosystem are complementary to Mattermost - in function and ideology.

Don't show 'More' channels if none are available
Currently, the channel list will show 'More...' as the last item in the list.
If there are no further channels created in the team, then this item performs no function other than to confuse users. New channels are obviously created by using the '+' icon at the top of the channel list.

nano editor
Some of us prefer nano over vi. It can't be that big of a deal to include nano in the container, can it?

Allow larger header for a channel
Currently the header for a channel is short. I'd like to see this expanded to a block of text that wraps.

Allow response from outgoing webhooks
In slack an outgoing webhook can reply with:
Hi, I have a (working) slack webhook that responds with like:{ "text": "Thanks! Build was queued" }
These responses are ignored by mattermost currently. It would be great if they worked too.

Switch usage for "Write a message..." vs "Add a comment..."
In our use case, most posts are intended as replies to a previous post. So it would make sense that the default main view holds single topic/discussion, and the text box at the bottom is for posting replies to that thread, and a List of available topics are shown on the side, where you also can post new topics.
This is effectively the opposite of how the UI is laid out now. The background for this request is that most users (myself included) miss to post a reply as a comment, and mess up the conversation history (even a lot…

Allow interactive markdown components
Allow clickable markdown links to interact with the channel/app. Ideally bots or services posting markdown components could embed clickable links which could populate the users text input and/or automatically post an outgoing webhook message for the user.

Different user roles to configure
As of now there are only two: 1. Admin 2. Member
Admin, would like to make someone "Manager" who can create private groups but can't delete one. Regular "Member" will not be able to create private groups or channels.

Provide an alternative to websockets for updates
Websockets don't work properly behind a squid proxy. It would be great to have a swap-in replacement for them that doesn't require patching Mattermost! Currently we cannot use Mattermost because of this issue, even though the installation itself is fine, because we're keeping it internal to the VPN that squid is running on.

enable other databases, e.g. Oracle.
Having support for other databases, e.g. Oracle, is crucial as this is common infrastructure in enterprise IT landscapes.
