A method includes displaying a message within an interface of a group-based communication platform on a device associated with a user; receiving, from the user, a selection of a first reactive emoji having a first skin tone for display in association with the message; and in response, displaying a first instance of the selected first reactive emoji having the first skin tone in a first grouping with at least a second instance of the first reactive emoji having a second skin tone different than the first skin tone, wherein the first grouping of the first instance and the at least the second instance is displayed in association with the message.

Systems and methods for reacting to messages

A group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications is described. A request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform can be received, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform. A representation of the file can be rendered in a user interface presented via client device(s) of user(s) associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of message(s) associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, the message(s) associated with the thread can be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.

Group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications

A method includes displaying a message within an interface of a group-based communication platform on a device associated with a user; receiving, from the user, a selection of a first reactive emoji having a first skin tone for display in association with the message; and in response, displaying: a first instance of the selected first reactive emoji having the first skin tone in a first grouping with at least a second instance of the first reactive emoji having a second skin tone different than the first skin tone, and a graphical indication of the first grouping of the first instance of the first reactive emoji having the first skin tone with the at least the second instance of the first reactive emoji having the second skin tone, wherein the first grouping of the first instance and the at least the second instance is displayed in association with the message.

Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to efficiently share files among a plurality of group-based communication feeds. Each file share may initiate a subsidiary group-based communication feed to organize and manage discussions regarding shared files. The subsidiary group-based communication feed is unique to the particular file share. Subsequent file shares of the file initiate additional subsidiary group-based communication feeds, such that each discussion stemming from a file share does not overlap with another discussion regarding a different file share of the same file.
