Show pinned messages on top of chat area

(#1085) Feature Under consideration messaging ui

Problem

Right now, the admins can pin messages and users can view them either via CTRL+P or clicking pinned messages icon on the top right. image Many messaging apps show pinned messages on top of the chat area. Here's how WhatsApp does it: image Here's how Telegram does it: image Of course, this is not the default behavior of Discord. It has the same behavior as Fluxer.

Proposed solution

I propose to show pinned messages. This is apparently how Telegram handles multiple pinned messages (just to give an idea): 561721491-a39563d8-8acb-4eca-8068-bb28943fec8e.mp4

Notes (optional)

The UX of Discord and Fluxer is almost one-to-one, which is understandable as we do not want to alienate anyone who migrates to Fluxer from Discord. This, however, I think, would be a good addition.

I think having a single sticky message where this red line is would work best, and with a max of two lines (so it doesn't become obnoxious), but when you click to it you jump to the message. image
