@host How do I read a thread?
I see a post, and I want to reply to the post, but I'd like to see the thread so I don't duplicate what others have said. I'm on the web. I've been clicking on the time in the bottom left corner, but that seems to take me to the mobile version of Mastodon. Is there an easier way to expand a thread and then reply? How about to review the thread in the timeline once someone has replied to me?

@scottnicholson hum, if you see a toot, and click on it (not on any link on the toot like the date or anything, just click void spare or the text in the body of the toot).

Then it should apear in the third column with a "Toots and replies" header.

The toot you clicked will be there and slightly more light grey than the other toot as part of the thread.

Does that make sense? would it help with a few screenshot?

@host Yup, I got it to work!

I didn't think of "click on a blank area." I was looking for something to click on.

But instead, I just needed to clear my mind, take a deep breath, and embrace the nothingness of the toot.

Thank you!

@scottnicholson sometime we just need to embrace the void :)
