I’m glad you agree! By the way, since I have your attention…I wanted to ask if Apollo’s ‘context preview’ thing is on the cards (ie Haptic Touch to get a glance at the parent comment). While the menu is useful, of course, that feature was a huge boon.
The comment before, since it was basically a context checker. So for example, if there’s a long conversation in between two posters and someone interjected in between their posts, you could quickly check to see which comment was being replied to.
It’s a super useful feature for long comment threads. They’re not all that common on Lemmy, but we’re all hoping there’ll be enough activity to justify such a feature.
It’s one of the features I miss most from Apollo! It would preview the comment that’s a direct parent to the selected one. Great for the reading and comprehension experience across many use cases.

Oh I didn’t know this was a thing if I’m honest! Did it preview the comment before or the top of the thread?
