Feedback on Discord support

[connorshea]

I didn't want to open a bunch of issues at once, so I figured I'd just make a list.

• Let the user switch between servers after they've chosen one (this is possible via the command palette with "Switch workspace", but it'd be nice to have it in the sidebar)
• Ability to edit/delete messages inline.
• Display custom emotes
• Don't include voice channels in the channels list (or include them, but give them a special icon and gray them out to show they can't be used)
• Show image posts (maybe just links to them?)
• Tokens expire pretty quickly, I wonder if it's possible to get into the RPC beta?

thanks @connorshea, all valid points. I'll keep this issue up to date as we push updates, and would love to accept contributions for any of these.

on the token expiry -- how often do you see that happening? are you explicitly logging out from any client?

[connorshea]

It seems to happen if I close the desktop client and reopen it, I think.

Add more status color in the direct messages. As Discord have different type of status too.

1. It takes a lot of time to fetch the data.

2. Change the name of workspace to server

3. If a user has opened the chat tab and then switch to another workspace (a.k.a server), then all the area is blank and even the chat tab (which looks weird), so when we change the workspace the chat tab should be closed automatically. As it take a lot of time to fetch the data.

This error message doesn't explain anything to me.

Don't include voice channels in the channels list (or include them, but give them a special icon and gray them out to show they can't be used)

Add different icons for different types of channel.

If we open a audio channel in VS Code, it opens as a chat tab, which is unexpected.

Add some information about data fetching and current server in the status bar.
