Understanding Member Display Limits on Tightknit Community

magda m. · 2025-06-04T21:43:03.270269+00:00

👋 Hi everyone! Long time Slack user (and former :slack: employee), finally tinkering with :tightknit-heart: for the non profit community I run. Initial questions 1. why are only a limited number of Members displayed on the companion site (https://wca.tightknit.community/directory/all)? 2. How can I get the full list of members displayed? 3. If not possible, how did it select the Members displayed- just alphabetically?

Hey magda m.! The full directory support is coming soon! For now as you guessed we display a limited preview in alphabetical order. In the meantime, you currently have a couple customization options:
You can create custom user groups that can be featured on the Directory page
You can turn off the Directory page entirely if this doesn't suit you

Thank you! That's super helpful. Especially the user groups piece/

Stephen C. - had a follow-up question on the Companion Site... "Retain messages past Slack expiration limit" - is this related to free workspace message retention, or something else? Any more information to clarify this benefit would be helpful. (I am trying to decide if we should keep our community in the paid workspace we are in, or if we should 'downgrade' to a free workspace) Thank you!

That's right. The data that Tightknit syncs (aka the messages in sent channels that are activated for Tightknit) is retained by Tightknit indefinitely. The posts/comments that you see on the companion site will stick around 🙂
