lastReadTime
When the lastReadTime
is before the latest message create time, the space appears as unread in the UI.
To mark the space as read, set lastReadTime
to any value later (larger) than the latest message create time. The lastReadTime
is coerced to match the latest message create time. Note that the space read state only affects the read state of messages that are visible in the space's top-level conversation. Replies in threads are unaffected by this timestamp, and instead rely on the thread read state.
