Hi! Another agreed item for the record. 😄
Description
Unlike Discord, Matrix rooms often show a lot of “technical” timeline events (e.g. user joined/left, display name changes, etc.). In busy rooms this can spam the timeline and make the conversation harder to follow.
Element handles this nicely by “shrinking” these events by default (single-line / compact), with an option to expand if you want full details.
Requested feature
Add an option to expand these membership/state events in the message timeline and make it minimalistic by default, for example:
- Render them as a compact single-line entry by default
- Allow expanding a specific entry to see full technical details
- (Optional) Group consecutive events into a summary like “5 membership events” with expand
Expected behavior
Normal chat messages remain prominent; technical/state logs become less visually noisy, but still accessible when needed.
Why it matters
This would significantly improve readability in active rooms and make Commet feel much more “daily-driver friendly”.
