TLDR: Tap and hold on a comment to collapse it.
I was missing the feature from RiF that let you hide and collapse comment chains. I only just figured out how to do this on the Connect Android app.
By pressing and holding on a comment you hide that comment and all replies to it letting you easily skip down to the next parent comment.
Every last single app I’ve tried has this. That can’t seriously be a selling point.
Maybe not a selling point sure, but something I wasn’t aware of. I came across it by accident :)
The “Reverse Comment Interactions” option in Settings makes it a single tap instead. I’m used to that so it’s nice the app has various customization options to cater to different users.
Oh that’s even better! Thanks!
It’s not exclusive to Connect though.
I use Mlem @ iOS and I can collapse comment too.So does Jerboa. I keep hitting it by accident.
I keep collapsing the sub-comments because I keep thinking long pressing on the main comment = the context menu of the comment
Same with wefwef.
I’m glad to hear that other apps have this too. Connect is the first one I’ve tried and the feature makes browsing alot easier
Pretty much every Lemmy app currently in production let’s you do this, tbh.
It’s invariably either by a single press or a long press on the parent comment.
I’m really glad this is a standard feature, it’s super useful!
