Activity, reminders and send later

Activity

Activity collects what’s addressed to you: messages that mention you (or @channel and @here in your channels), and replies in threads you’re part of. It’s the place to catch up after time away.

At the top, Threads you follow lists the threads you wrote in, chose to follow, or started once someone replied, without the ones you unfollowed. A plain post nobody has answered isn’t a thread yet. Threads with replies you haven’t read come first, marked New replies; the rest follow, most recent first. Opening a thread marks it read. Follow a thread without replying from its panel or the message’s menu, and unfollow it the same way: its replies stop reaching you, but a mention still does, and replying in it follows it again.

Saved

Save any message from its menu to come back to it later. Saved lists them.

Reminders

Ask Sideporch to remind you, in your own time zone:

/remind me in 20 minutes to stretch
/remind me tomorrow to water the plants
/remind me to call Mo friday at 3pm

Or choose Remind me in any message’s menu to be reminded of that message. Reminders arrive as a message from Sideporch to yourself. Scheduled lists the ones still waiting, where you can cancel them.

Send later

The clock next to Send schedules a message for later instead of sending it now. Scheduled lists what’s waiting to go out; change your mind there and cancel.

Notifications

Push notifications cover direct messages, mentions and replies in your threads, and skip the conversation you’re looking at. See Phones and notifications to turn them on. Mute noisy channels from their menu: they stay in your sidebar without notifying you. To stop notifications for a while, or every night, use pauses and quiet hours.
