3 years ago Matterircd currently replays some messages, but this may be incomplete - when we've been offline for more then a few messages there might be a gap, or might have duplicates: messages we've already seen might be shown again
Likely something is updating the Mattermost channel viewed (updateat?) which matterircd uses to replay old messages. This is why there might be gaps. As for duplicates, that's likely because https://github.com/42wim/matterircd/issues/245#issuecomment-674564178
I have a PR open to keep an internal state on what we've seen. It doesn't yet make it persistent dumping out to disk (and load) so is lost on matterircd restarts.
Feedback and additional testing welcome!

When disconnected from matterircd, messages may still pour in. When reconnecting to matterircd, it would make sense for matterircd to replay all messages that have been missed in the meanwhile.

It would make sense for matterircd to optionally keep state, ie a file with the contents user X on server Y protocol Z has seen messages until timestamp 999999 so matterircd could replay exactly what has been missing...
