Slack seems to limit the number of contacts shown in my sidebar's direct messages section to 10 or 11 contacts. If I start a direct message with somebody new, another conversation is removed from the sidebar.
I'm now displaying "All my channels and DM". I tried the other sidebar options, but they don't seem to do what I want.
My colleagues don't have this behavior. Is there a way to disable it or set another limit?

Open a direct message and STAR it to keep it showing on the sidebar. This is very useful because it does remove any duplicates that would show up in the direct messages part of the sidebar, so you still have plenty of space.
