allow users to 'follow' others to create a filtered feed view.
Currently we have an in-built equality of posts which can become inefficient with high volume.
Recognizing the importance of hubs in scale-free network growth, we could allow for a filtered view of the main town-hall feed, where you just saw the posts (and related threads) of those you choose to follow.
One could also toggle back to the unfiltered view, but allowing people to cluster could make high volume teams more manageable.
Unlike Facebook, the user would remain in control - with no algorithm and the ability to toggle back to the unfiltered view.

Title: Bring Reaction Menu closer to the message text on wide screens
Description:
Currently, the hover reaction menu is always pinned to the far right edge of the message container. On ultra-wide monitors or when using the "Full width" display setting, this creates a huge physical distance between the short message text (on the left) and the reaction buttons (on the far right).
This is exhausting for the user's eyes and requires excessive mouse movement for every single reaction.
Suggested Solution:Allow the reaction menu to float near the end of the message text if the message is short. Or, add an option to display the reaction menu on the left side of the message. Or, trigger the reaction menu via a right-click at the cursor's position.This change would significantly improve the user experience for everyone using high-resolution displays.

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.175 votesLabel and status updated.

Revert licence changes introduced in v11
As was described at forum: https://forum.mattermost.com/t/future-of-mattermost/25396 current direction of Mattermost will destroy community around product. The idea is to revert recent changes, that were introduced in v11 (it would be nice to keep gitlab SSO).

Show "channel purpose" in "find channels" modal window
Hi!
Please consider a small UI improvement for channel search.
It would be great if, in the "Find Channels" modal window, the text from the "Channel Purpose" were displayed next to the channel name. This would significantly simplify finding the right channel without having to open each one from the search modal window.
Thank you!

Ability to “Also send to channel” inside a thread
As we are starting to use threads more, it would be nice to keep the channel updated when important updates are made in threads.
Slack solves this problem by adding a checkbox that says “Also send to channel” inside a thread. Would love to see a similar approach.

To use an Access Token to login at the Mobile app
I see that the access token is only for the API, but I wonder if at some point it would be possible to use the access token to access the mobile app? and thus avoid using the password (or in my case keycloak credentials) on the smartphone.
Thanks

preventing re-login after desktop app upgrades
Desktop app was upgraded today to a new major version 6 -> all users was left out from the service and desktop asking the server details for re-login. Please, make the desktop app upgrade procedure in a way that never brakes the login / sessions for the user. This has happen every now and than with minor upgrades also. This issus is faced at least in Windows desktop app.

Hide Select button after emoji is chosen in Add Custom Emoji form
When adding a custom emoji, the Select button stays visible even after choosing an emoji image, which can confuse users.
To improve the experience, I suggest:
Replacing the “Select” button with "Change" and "Remove" buttons
Hiding the “Select” button while the Add Emoji request is submitting
This would make the UI clearer

Message Forwarding Control in Mattermost
Currently, users cannot forward messages to others in Mattermost. It would be helpful if system admins could control this feature — either allow or restrict forwarding globally or between selected users. This would improve usability while keeping communication secure and flexible.

Customiziable user profile fields (in addition to "position" and "nickname")
Currently the user profile contains a nickname and position field. It would be awesome if it was possible to add additional fields in the System Console, and that users then could populate them with information.
Depending on the mattermost server and what it is used for many different fields could be useful. For my specific case (student organization) I would like to add:
- Phone Number
- Pronouns
- Year of study
These fields would ideally show up both on mobile and desktop/web platforms.

Show Emoji's in Recent Mentions Sidebar
I use Emoji Reactions to indicate to others if their messages have been actioned - usually a little green check mark.
If a message is for me specifically to action, I tend to save it and use that saved messages sidebar as a sort of "to-do" list. If I react to a message, that emoji shows up in my saved list and I can then make sure I un-save it.
This behaviour doesn't seem to be replicated in the Recent Mentions view. It would be good if that view included reaction emoji's, so I can quickly glance to see I've actioned all messages that I've been tagged in.

Boards roles: Editor has too many rights, Reader too few – need middle option
Currently, Mattermost Boards only provide three roles: Admin, Editor, and Reader.
Editors have full permissions over cards, including creating, editing, moving, and deleting cards, labels, and properties structure.
Readers can only view boards and cannot interact with cards at all.
This creates a gap: there is no role for users who should be able to move and update cards (for example, to progress tasks in a workflow) but should not be able to delete cards, labels, or properties.

Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels
Feature Request:
Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels to better organize conversations and topics within a team and break large channels into focused topics.Proposed Implementation: Follow the same pattern used by Posts with RootId. Add a ParentChannelId field to the Channel model that references the parent channel, enabling a single-level parent-child hierarchy. This mirrors how thread replies work - posts use RootId to reference their parent post, and we can apply the same approach to channels.

Display Full User Names in Mobile App (Avoid Truncating with Ellipsis)
Hi Team,
I’ve noticed that on the Mattermost mobile app (iOS), user names are often truncated and displayed as “Kim…” instead of showing the full name, even though the full name appears correctly on the web version. This makes it difficult to identify users, especially in organizations where many people have similar names.
Please enhance the mobile app UI so that full user names are always visible, or at least provide an option to expand or view the full name easily. Ideally, the display should be consistent with the web version, either by wrapping the text, allowing horizontal scrolling, or showing the full name on tap/hover.
Thank you for considering this feature request!

Dialogue sees input in real time
Live Input Visibility During Conversation
I want to develop an AI bot that can converse with users and help them complete tasks. During the conversation, I want to see the bot's real-time output, corresponding to the streaming output of the LLM. Currently, I have to wait for the LLM output to completely finish before sending a message to the user. This requires waiting.3 votes -
What Features Should I Check Before Buying a VCF to PST Converter for Bulk Contact Migration?
I’m planning to move a large set of VCF contacts to Outlook and want to choose the best tool. What key features should I look for before purchasing a VCF to PST Converter? Should it support batch import for VCF to Outlook, keep all contact details intact, and work offline without errors? Is there any difference in performance between free and paid versions? Also, does it matter if it supports all vCard versions like 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0?

The ability to favorite emoji and access them quickly.
The recently used emoji section is nice, but it's very frustrating when they disappear or reset every few months for whatever reason. Can we add a section for favorite emoji? It would even be more beneficial where the "recent emoji" section is. Maybe there's a way to integrate both in a way that are easily accessible?
In my position we work very fast, so it's integral to be able to react to certain posts in an efficient matter when you need to. This feature would be an amazing addition.

New permission for reply to a post in channel
Hi!
We’re missing a separate permission for leaving comments (reply) on a post in a channel. We need this so that we can have channels where only the channel admin can publish posts, but everyone can only comment (reply) on those posts.
These could be news-style channels where only certain people, like the CEO, can broadcast critical company updates. Right now, this pattern isn’t possible, because if you revoke the permission to publish new posts in the channel for everyone except the admin, then commenting on posts also becomes impossible.
Thank you.
