Can we get a feature to jump to the thread when seeing replies in the inbox? - Lemmy.world

I can go back to the post, but it’s hard to find my comment when there are many. And having my name not be highlighted makes it even harder.

i found it dicey to get to the thread. have to click on the tiny thread title, which is not the expected behavior

Looks like this is fixed for the next version: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/634
Show threadEinfachUnersetzlichJun 19, 2023
The first part at least is already there in version 0.0.34 (which isn't available in the Play store yet): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/597

I actually had the same problem, the solution is to click on the little chain icon underneath the message.

But I agree that that should be the default when you press on an item in the notification list.

My problem is, that these icons aren’t there for me. Just the text, then nothing/the next replay.

Maybe try long pressing? There's a setting to always show this toolbar under comments, might also influence this view

Sadly, no...

Huh, seems to be a bug then. What version are you running?
Show threadelvithJun 19, 2023
I'm on 0.0.33 from the Google Play Store. I just checked, there's no update listed for me
Show threadMaggiWuerzeJun 19, 2023
0.0.34 in my case, maybe try that version through github or f-droid

Tap and hold the comment header, that will expand the options. This should be fixed in the next version.

I was going to say, that it doesn't work, but it seems that I just missed the right spot to tap. That works, thanks!

Actually, the web UI takes you to that particular comment, but not Jerboa 🤷. Haven't looked at code, but I bet it's a bug, cuz sometimes (rarely) it does work, but most of the time, no.

In Jerboa you just have to click the link icon and it takes you to the context, just like it was on reddit
Show thread0x4E4FJun 19, 2023
Sometimes, yes, most of the time, no. It just takes me to that thread/post, that's it, not the actual reply/comment.
Show threadMaggiWuerzeJun 19, 2023

This one?

Show thread0x4E4FJun 19, 2023
Yeah, that one, the chain.
Show threadEnvis10nJun 19, 2023
Would be good to have it jump to the comment, or have a way to reply directly
Show threadelboyolocoJun 19, 2023
I can reply directly from my inbox. Can you not?
Show threadEnvis10nJun 19, 2023
Nope. Though I'm not using the latest build, only the one on play store. I tried to reply yesterday but had a language error on my other account

In Jerboa it's buried in a submenu. In the inbox screen, click on the three dots menu for a comment reply and there will be a "go to comment" button
Show threadusualsuspect191Jun 19, 2023
Doesn't the little link button do that already?
Show threadbionicjoeyJun 19, 2023
Yes, I was thinking of the profile page
