I don't want to chat with a General, just in general test what the general chat has to offer for any general. This message should go to the general store and get some general generals.
Huh. The message went to (no topic) instead of general chat :thinking:
Sounds like in general it might not work as expected by the General. Maybe the mobile app added the non-topic topic
Hmm, maybe. I'm using the desktop client.
Test from mobile
Test from mobile beta
Oh oh...
Yeah, I tried the regular and beta mobile clients and they send messages to (no topic) rather than general chat. ![]()
I guess I could turn the feature off :shrug:
The General might need to call for very generalistic reinforcements. One other idea: you renamed an existing channel. Let's try a fresh one.
Could the generals please stand up, please stand up? TEST TEST
Nope, same same. "No topic" it is. :shrug:
Bummer @Philip Durbin โ๏ธ
bleh
Interestingly, after I turned off "general chat", I couldn't reply on the "general chat" topic. So I renamed it to "good vibes" (its old name).
Thanks for helping me test, @Oliver Bertuch. I'm not a big mobile user.
I reported the problem upstream: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/137-feedback/topic/mobile.20apps.20don't.20send.20to.20general.20chat/near/2116435
