Change the way that discord clients resolve thread mentions
I run a support discord server.
Previously, the #FAQ channel, which we frequently direct people toward was SUPER messy, and hard to navigate.
One way that I figured to organize it was to make an embed linking to threads, instead of having random messages be the FAQ.
I used `<#THREAD-ID>` to "link" to each of the threads
And as you can see, this looked AWESOME!
There was just one problem though. Only I could see the channel links.
Because the threads were archived, noone else would be able to see these at a glance. All they could see was "#deleted-channel", shown here by a screenshot that a friend of mine was able to take.
This is not ideal. The only way around this were for users to actually go to a thread, and read it, once they read one of the threads, they were then able to see all of them?
This 100% feels like a bug.
Here is a showcase of what users needed to do to see our FAQ topics.
The only way that I could find around this, is creating hyperlinks to the first message in a thread (by doing [text](link)), which does not look as good. Since the links to discord messages are so long, I needed to split the faq topics into two embed fields, creating an ugly gap
