How do I get only the messages that concern me?

Set each conversation to "Mentions and keywords" in its info. You are alerted when someone mentions you, when someone writes @everyone (unless you ignore it) or when one of your keywords appears. In a group of more than 50 members, this setting applies by default. For some quiet time, the bell in the header pauses everything for 15 minutes to 8 hours.

A word you choose, on top of your name: a client's name, an order number. A message that contains it alerts you like a mention.

Can I prevent replies in a channel?

Yes, with announcement mode: only admins post, members read. People can still reply in a direct message.

Chat — Alerts for what concerns you, and quiet for the rest.

Every conversation in Comunik Sphere Chat has its own level: everything, mentions and keywords, or nothing. Mute silences a group for an hour or for good, pause stops everything during a meeting, and a large group switches to mentions on its own.

Pause

In a meeting,

Announcement channel

The announcement lands,
with no reply storm.

In an announcement channel, only admins post. Scheduled sending posts the Monday reminder there, and a video call started in a group can alert every member or stay quiet.
