Show number of new messages per channel without checking it

Zacharyyy

An essential thing missing from the app is the ability to see how many messages in any given channel on a server have been sent since you last checked it. It's not helpful to have 5 messages look the same as 500. Being able to know how much I'd be reading by seeing it without opening up the entire chat would be really helpful and honestly a necessity for knowing much time one will spend catching up on messages.

Attached an image. While I can see where there are new posts, I cannot see how many. I cannot see if I'd need to spend a full hour catching up or only a few minutes. Having a small number visible somewhere (probably up to three digits, preferably) would be extremely useful, whether on the tabs, or in a pop-up if you hold rather than tap.

This isn't just a problem with mobile, but the desktop version as well.

    I like the idea of this, but there is already a banner that indicates it. But probably a improve of the banner would be more efficient for a normal workflow.
