My co-workers tell me it's either "that's interesting," i.e. it drew their attention; or just that they're looking at something. For example, if I provide a link to a ticket, they're indicating that they received the link and have clicked or will click it to look at it.
I have also seen one person use it like the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when using a messenger that did not support embedded images.
Pretty widely understood at my last two companies to mean something like "looking into this" or "taking a look." Basically just a quick acknowledgment to let the person asking the question know that they can probably expect a response from that person soon, and lets others know that someone's already on it so we don't duplicate effort.
I always assumed this was a common usage on Slack.

That's how I would have interpreted it, as well, but I've seen it used in situations where that didn't seem fitting so I asked.
lunarul@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Same in my company. Acknowledging that you've seen the message and are looking into it.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 18 pts · 1y
