How it works (and what people will see)

When enabled, the Thread Engagement Reminder posts a short, friendly reply in a thread to nudge thread-first conversation — but only in a specific scenario.

It will show up when:

• The same person posts again in the same channel within 60 seconds of their previous message, and the follow-up is not a threaded reply

What it does:

• Posts a concise, helpful message as a reply under the original message’s thread
• Encourages continuing the conversation in that thread to keep the channel tidy
• Never blocks messages; it only nudges

It will not show up when:

• The follow-up is posted as a thread reply
• More than 60 seconds have passed since the person’s previous message in that channel

Example response (actual text may vary):

🧵 To keep this conversation tidy, we’ve replied here in a thread. Follow along or reply here to keep context together. If you need broader attention, you can still share a summary in the main channel.
