And this took how many years and why? Such a weird, arbitrary limitation.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 6 points 20 hours ago

Honestly it's still arbitrary. Why not a hundred?

[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 20 hours ago

Yes exactly. I also have no idea why it's limited at all. And 4 was just comically low and useless.

If all chats are pinned, then I guess there's no point?

Probably due to interface layout etc - easier to organise if its limited

This would be fine if signal didn't populate the list with everyone who is on signal from my contacts, even if I've never sent a message. If those contacts are in a separate category ("uncontacted" or something), that's ok, but they aren't. Also the issue remains that I might need to remember someone is in there even if I've never sent a message, so I need to pin them. Plus those I actually do want/need pinned can still easily exceed 10, and certainly always exceeds 4, and always has.

For reference I only have like 35 contacts in there. So having even 20 pinned is still far from "all chats are pinned".

Oh Mr popular over here! Good for you bud.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 23 hours ago

LOL is that a lot?

[-] ascend@lemmy.radio 1 points 1 day ago

I do, but they're all in the same three chats. I just keep mine and my wife group pinned for ease and the rest can ebb and flow.
