Concepts

Tightknit creates an intuitive mapping of the information in your Slack workspace to the features of your Tightknit community and companion site.

First, let’s review some Slack message terminology:

• Before a message has any replies, we call it an unthreaded message.
• Once a message has replies, it becomes a parent message.
• Any child messages of that parent message are called threaded replies.
• The whole bundle of the parent message and replies is referred to as a thread.
• Each of the messages within a thread, whether parent or reply, is a threaded message.

We like to call the concepts on the Slack side of things, such as messages and channels, Slack-isms. So how do we create community features from Slack-isms? Check out this table:
