The hope is to add it later. The first cut is plain Slack-style threads, but we have MSCs for zulip/twist style threads like https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/283... which will get built out as soon as we can.

Fun fact: the design for Element’s current threading is from a former Twist designer; make of that what you will :)

Does Element have discord-style replies? This is the biggest feature missing in slack for me. Being able to quickly reply to a particular message that might be 2-3 messages behind goes a really long way in being able to maintain multiple flows of a conversation

Yes, it does, and has done for about 3-4 years.

I'm not sure an entirely separate mechanism is needed to achieve Zulip-style threading, though? Seems like the current thread design could easily be adapted to support named threads.

Does Zulip support nested threads?
