SdotMoving to new platforms/3rd party apps had made me realise everyone else has something against collapsing child comments.
You mean automatically? Because there are some apps that hide the children comments but let the parent one already.
grumpyhobnobIn the few weeks I’ve been trying some apps, the devs have added so much. It’s only going to get better. The apps are still in TestFlight.
FrostBoltAgreed. It seems like such a basic feature. I’m missing it on kbin
talI don't like comment collapsing at all, and was really annoyed that Infinity on Reddit didn't have an option to disable it, as I'd keep accidentally collapsing comments and not noticing due to the lack of any visual indicator that there was collapsed comments, but I can appreciate that some people might want it.
jijiI think that’s more an issue of design. Apollo made it pretty clear there were collapsed comments.
entropicdriftWefwef supports this. It’s quite nice.
Definitely essential. I’m on Connect for Lemmy, it does it. Jerboa did too but that app started to get a bit broken in a recent update and I moved on. Liking this one better. I hear wefwef mentioned a lot though I couldn’t see on f-droid or even the play store. Are people just downloading an APK?
“hide all child comments” was a much beloved feature on BaconReader, at least for me.
I also preferred the card view of content, and that all read content would get hidden.
But this is something new, so I’m trying not to compare them directly - I don’t really want Lemmy to just be new Reddit, but something new.
Vengefu1 TunaLiftoff recently added this as well.
Xylight (Photon dev)wait what some apps don’t support comment collapsing?
it was the first feature I tried to add in my client
