- done:
    - Tried updating my mentions status-go PR to make it more efficient, but I gave up as it just created more trouble
- current:
    - Fixing the issue where replies sometimes show `<deleted>` as the quoted text even though it wasn't deleted
        - I pretty much finished fixing
        - I did so by using the QuotedMessage property that's alreayd part of Message
            - No more JSON fetching from QML for this (mostly)
        - The only small thing I need to figure out is if we want to show `deleted` when the message is actually deleted
            - the reason I'm asking is because if we do, then status-go has a bug, because QuotedMessage stays as the old message when it is deleted

    - [OS notifications showing Contact Request message from myself #8381](https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/8381). So the problem is that we are sending approved contact request notification as a simple chat message.

**Jo**
- done:
    - Had a meeting with cammellos for community join spam issue and captcha
    - Found an issue where a group chat became invisible, but messages still came in (with notifications)
        - Sadly, we fixed it by kicking and re-adding, so I no longer can reproduce
        - I still investigated the code, I think it might be related to Active being set to false, but I can't prove it
        - Patryk was able to reproduce, it's indeed related to Active being set to false
- current:
    - trying to fix the reactions not showing for the mobile team (probably on app restart?)
        - Turns out it might be the same as the pending requests
        - the filter is not listened to, but only in the Status CC community
        - Finally figured it out, it's related to enryption in the community
            - The special messages like delete, edit, pin and reactions were not encrypted, so they fell in the wrong topic

- current:
    - Hunting bug that causes Iuri to not receive community join requests immediatly
        - Jo and I were able to see that the issue happens in status-go. The requests are received but dropped for some reason.
        - After some time the requests arrive again via History request
        - According to status-go code, there are not many places where this should fail. I believe the problem is due to filters not being executed, and created status-im/status-go#3019 which adds extra logging to determine if this is the case.
        - Currentyl waiting for Iuri to reproduce the issue
