Summary of reactions (Grouping?)

[garygreen]

At the moment it seems it's only possible to individually list each reaction. This can get pretty lengthy and challenging to see how many reactions each emoji got.

Is there any plans on being able to summarise/group reactions, like Github does?

Maybe there should be settings for "Start grouping at: X reactions" along with a "Show up to X usernames"

I like this idea and I think it should be combined with some kind of popup that lets you still see all reactions bexond the threshold when clicking/hovering. This could also be set to 0 so that the reaction display effectively matches the GitHub/Discord display of reactions.

This could also be set to 0 so that the reaction display effectively matches the GitHub/Discord display of reactions.

It would probably make sense for 0 to mean no summarisation, and 1 to start grouping when 1 reaction, 2 at 2 reactions, etc.

When grouping is set as 3 or more:

👍 billy, joe | ❤️ bob

When grouping is set as 2:

👍 (2) | ❤️ bob

When grouping is set as 1:

👍 (2) | ❤️ (1)

When grouping is set as 0 it means group together but don't summarise:

👍 billy, joe | ❤️ bob

When grouping is set as an empty string/null - it will list the reactions in a flat list, as it does now:

👍 billy | ❤️ bob | 👍 joe

Hopefully that makes sense? Should allow for nice customisation and keep backwards compatible behaviour.
