I am new to Lemmy so I may be missing some setting, apologies if so.

Using the mobile app on Android. When someone replies to a comment and I tap the bell icon to see messages, I can only see the reply itself, not what it was replying to. When I click on the message it takes me to the thread leaving me to scroll through the entire thread to find the comment and its reply. This is frustrating and time consuming and I often abandon the discussion because I’m not interested in looking for a needle in a haystack. This stifles discussion. It’s confusing because the context of the reply is often lost without it’s parent.

As an example of how it can be done better, in Reddit when you click on a comment it takes you to the thread and filters for only the reply and its parent, with the option to “view all”.

Is there any viable solution to this? I can’t be the only one with this concern.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
