Currently hosting a couple of zulip instances for communities that had been on discord. I really like the way it handles topics/threading and they make hosting a breeze. I reported in an upgrade recently and it was < 30 minutes between me reporting it and getting code to solve my issue pushed to the repos. Wild.

10/10 recommend if voice/video are not a focus.

Zulip is confusing as hell to use.

How?

I manage two Zulip servers so I’m interested of knowing how it is perceived by outsiders.

To me (to us) it is quite simple, you write in the topic with the correct title, fediverse stuff goes in fediverse stuff, video games in video games, etc etc.

If someone makes a mistake, any user on a PC can move the message to the correct topic (doesn’t work with the mobile app).

Because you end up with 5 gazillion threads and trying to find the one you were conversing in previously is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Ok I see what you mean.

In very active and populated servers I can see that becoming a problem yes.

I generally use the "combined view" so I see every threads at the same time and reply in the correct one automatically.

But then there's no context
