Ability to toggle collapse of chats in any given connection

[acagastya]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Consider the following image.

I would not call it problem per se, but having many channels and chats in a connection could be too distracting.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would suggest having a ▶/▼ to toggle hide/show of the list (hidden by default) might be a good idea. Maybe an aggregate message count number like this screenshot would be a good idea? (First one is how it looks currently, second is the proposed solution.)

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Additional context
I think that should suffice.

I don't think this is a good idea. I can't imagine a situation where I want to "constantly" toggle the whole list just to see what hides under that unread count.

I think there's other ways to do this better:

• Toggle hide/show favorite channels
• Allow conversations to be sorted by last active #520
• Settings option to only display channels/chats with activity #609

I'll leave the issue open for a while, but will probably close it unless some other compelling argument is made. It's not that I don't see the problem, it's just that I don't think your suggested solution is optimal.

I think #609 would be a better solution, but I'm going to close this since I also closed #609.
