When I leave a channel, and go back to it, keep the scrollback at where I left it
I apologize if this idea is a little too radical for the Discord team:
What if, when I navigate away from a text channel (let's say at 10:00 PM on December 30) and go back to it... what if, by some magic, when I went back to that channel, I actually saw messages that were sent immediately after I left? i.e. the scrollback did not move on its own?
How Discord currently behaves: I stop looking at the text channel at 10:00PM on December 30. I look at it again at 3:00 PM on December 31 (the next day), and the messages I'm shown are not from either of the times I just mentioned, but rather some random time in-between. Furthermore, a bunch of messages I haven't actually read have been marked as read! Amazing!
Why my suggestion could be useful: To see if someone replied to me after I looked away from the channel: yes, Discord has a reply function now, but guess what? Not everyone uses it 100% of the time!

For examples of this ground-breaking idea in practice, see: virtually every other chat program ever made

That will lead to a huge cursor array when you look at many channels. That is the reason it is only preserved locally.
