Muted channel notifications still coming through #10

Muting a channel is universal, so if you change the setting on desktop, it reflects on mobile. I have one channel muted:

But they still come through in your app:

Do you have access to the muting preference?

I'm looking into this but it might require some changes. The only way I can find to get whether a channel is muted is by calling an undocumented API (users.prefs.get) which require the client scope which gives the app permission to do everything in your workspace. Since all of that is undocumented and legacy, it might be better to add an option to mute channels in the plugin.

Might take a bit to get this fixed.

It's been a long time since I last checked but after some back and forth with Slack support, there seems to be no way to get the information about muted channels. Legacy apps have this but I was not able to create one and the one I use for this plugin can not fetch that information.

Strange. Well, thanks for looking into it!
