See title. I’m grateful to the app creators, but as I use this app on a daily basis it hurts that I have to switch to sync just to get a proper grasp on what people are replying to regarding my comments.

The normal option, when pushing on replies, doesn’t go high enough on the context chain. The context option however goes too high, adds extra ‘side’ replies and I find myself searching for my initial comment again, which is a painful and avoidable task.

A rework would greatly be appreciated. F.e. it would help if the context option would focus on the new reply and let me decide how far I want to scroll upwards. Instead of just focussing on the top level comment.

Absolutely, also tapping a comment collapses that comment when it would ideally collapse all sub comments under that comment.

I was reading a large comment the other day and my finger touched the screen, barely but enough, and I was 6 miles away from the collapsed single line of text I needed to click to read the end of my comment.

Please fix this and the replies context.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

I actually like this and always found it confusing in other apps when the comment I was tapping on was not collapsed. Especially if it was a really long comment that took up all the screen.

Please keep it.

Yes, I’ve had this exact challenge with every reply I get - “what post was this reply in context to?”. I wish there was an easy way to click to see the parent post or to at least be able to see what my reply was to help provide context.

It would help if the notification overview would mention the thread or a part of my post/comment. Maybe group the replys to the same post/comment

Best chance of seeing that implemented would probably be filing an issue on the github page.

Yeah I’m just trying to get some input and awareness from the community first.
