we have been building a new Reddit chat (one-to-one and group chats) from the ground up
Could you give some more details on this? I believe the existing chat was a sendbird instance. Is this new one all in house or are you switching to a different provider?
Is there any progress on not having two separate messaging frameworks and consolidating messages and chat? Not that I want messages to go away, as it stands they are much superior.
Will the new chat be available via the api? When the original chat was released many years ago, it was promised it would be available in the API, which would have been trivial to add since sendbird has an established API that could have simply been turned on. But it never was and so today all of my various bots, like u/RemindMeBot, have thousands of chat messages they can't reply to from users who don't know any better.

Don't want messages and chats to merge. Chat still has so much to catch up to and is slow and buggy.
