Threads would be a very nice feature of Slack, except that they are way too narrow and I can't find any way to configure their width.
Does anyone know how to expand a thread to make it take up all the screen real estate (within Slack)? Zooming in doesn't change the narrowness. It just makes the fonts bigger. I want to collapse the channel discussion and have the thread occupy the full width of the slack message area. Not possible?

Below the channel name, click the notifications menu. Select More notification options. Check the box next to Get notified about all replies and show them in your Threads view. Click Save Changes.
To start one, hover over a Slack message until the context menu appears. (It's the same menu that you use to add reaction emoji or share a message.) Tap the new chat bubble and a thread will appear in a new pane to the right of the main chat. By default, the person you're responding to is added to the thread.
@everyone notifies every person in the #general channel, @channel notifies all members of a channel, and @here notifies only the active members of a channel. These mentions won't notify people when their notifications are paused, or when they're used in threads.
O.k., for relatively new users of Slack like me, you definitely can get a wider version of a thread, but you can't expand it directly from the thread in the righthand pane (I don't think).
What you have to do is click on All Threads in the lefthand menu pane. If you had channel content in the central message area before, it will be replaced with a list of discussions that include both channels and threads. Just scroll until you find the thread you want and then you can view it in a wider format and also continue the conversation in less cramped fashion.

This is not a solution, it is at best a "work around".
In my big-ish org there are literally hundreds of threads. There no nice way to find the thread you care about in "All Threads". There needs to be a way to navigate directly from the specific thread to that thread in "All Threads" or there needs to be a way to widen the thread display.
