Loving Slack, but Really Missing Sub-Sub-Threads
Hey all,
Let me start by saying that I really enjoy using @Slack. Every day I use it, though, I find myself wishing I could create threads within sub-threads. Is this limitation intentional—to encourage keeping conversations in the main thread—or are there any plans to support one additional level of threading in the future?
For example, we're building a product called Mozart, an AI-powered digital audio workstation (DAW). We had a thread discussing the mixer component, and within that, someone started a sub-thread about how effects would be handled. I wanted to go even deeper and discuss one specific effect—the reverb module—but there was no clean way to do that without cluttering the entire sub-thread. I instead had to forward the message to the main chat and start another thread there. A sub-sub-thread would have allowed us to stay a bit more organised and focused without losing context.
Keen to get your thoughts on this :)) !

Totally agree with you!!

I think this will create more confusion, because within one subtopic, there will be many more subtopics, and finding exactly what you need will make the process more difficult :(
