on a server with over 4000 people, but when i check the members menu only about 20-30 show up, seemingly from people i have messaged in the past or at complete random.
important to note that this is on a discord server; this issue may not be present on a slack server but i am unable to test this as i do not use slack.

edit - found out about the 4k user sync cap; however i think a good compromise would be to add members to the list who have recently sent a message.

The problem is that there is no way to know if a message from a recently send user is still in the guild/server. They may send a message and then leave. (Similarly, messages delivered/fetched from the past may be from users who are no longer in the guild/server.)

The only way to do this properly is to use the newer system in Discord for synchronizing the user list. Unfortunately, it's doesn't work as well for showing more than 1 channel at a time (like you can with Ripcord with multiple windows) or for switching quickly between channels (Ripcord can switch much more quickly than Discord's web client.)

I'll probably be forced to switch to the new system whenever Discord shuts off the old one, though.

For anyone reading this in the future, this is no longer an issue. Ripcord is using the newer system now.
