SUMMARY Feature request to integrate with system tray.
Honestly this feature have been quite a mess in NeoChat has it breaks every other weeks, so I'm not really convinced about adding it. What I am interested in implementing is a native plasma widgets that can then be added to the tray, but that will only work on plasma and when not using flatpak.

As you are most likely aware, the vast majority of applications work with the system tray are fine. IMO it would be a nice feature to add, but if you're not interested, that's ok also. Choqok is a great application that supports Mastodon and Twitter, and it also supports the system tray - so it's a perfect solution for people who want the additional convenience afforded by the system tray.
So many other software programs get it right. I think Tokodon can handle adding simple tray notifications. At the very least, something to simply move it away from taskbars and simply 'open'. Doesn't need to be complicated, but a bare minimum at least.
As a new user, I did not understand while this instant communication program disappeared when I closed its window. I think that a way to keep it running with possibly notifications for new messages would be great. I prefer not to have too many apps in the taskbar. So, I agree with others that an integration in the system tray would be great.
We now have background notification support using KUnifiedPush, see https://invent.kde.org/network/tokodon/-/merge_requests/350. Neither me or Carl want to implement a system tray icon, so this is our proposed solution. This feature will appear in the next release, and hopefully we can carve out some KUnifiedPush releases for that.
> Neither me or Carl want to implement a system tray icon Does this mean you won't allow others to implement it or...? This should not have been marked FIXED, it isn't FIXED. 'INTENTIONAL' (if you won't allow the implementation of a tray icon) or 'UNMAINTAINED' (if you will allow it but just aren't at this time able to do so) would be appropriate.
Sure someone could implement it, but that person would have to make sure it's well maintained since we're not personally interested in the feature. We have more than enough optional code/features and there would have to be a really good argument to adding more.

We have more than enough optional code/features and there would have to be a really good argument to adding more. A simple icon was all that was asked..notifications and such wouldn't even be necessary for that. Just a running-in-the-background useful tray icon. Like any other social-media/chat software. >_> I don't understand the rationale against it, but I guess it is whatever it is, I can always use another client. Personally, I just wanted a full-featured experience and software, I expect it from KDE, unlike Gnome which'll eventually end up a startup-shutdown script itself. *shrug*
