Threads

When a thread is created on a message in a linked channel, Orax automatically creates corresponding threads on all mirrored copies of that message across every connected server. Thread deletions are also synchronized.

Thread Creation Sync

1. A user creates a thread on a message in a linked channel
2. Orax detects the thread creation via Discord’s threadCreate event
3. The bot looks up all mirrored copies of the parent message in the database
4. A corresponding thread is created on each mirrored message
5. Thread mappings are stored in the database for future sync

Thread Deletion Sync

When a thread is deleted in a linked channel:

1. Orax detects the deletion via Discord’s threadDelete event
2. The bot looks up all mirrored copies of the thread in the database
3. Each corresponding thread is deleted in all connected servers

Supported Thread Types

Thread Naming

When a thread is created on a mirrored message, the thread name is copied from the original thread. If the thread name exceeds Discord’s limit, it will be truncated.

Limitations

• Thread creation only works if the original message still exists (within the 30-day retention window)
• The bot needs Create Public Threads permission in each channel
• If the parent message was deleted before the thread sync could occur, the thread sync will fail
• Thread archive/unarchive status is not currently synced
