Is it possible to see only new post replies? - sh.itjust.works

I’m new to Lemmy, days not weeks. Liking it so far and I’m trying to contribute in a positive way to the instance. I have one usability issue, trying to figure out which replies in a post are new since I last read it. I see the number like (4 New) telling me how many, but not which. Sorting by “New” hardly helps because of the threaded display. Threading is a good thing, IMO, since it preserves the flow of the conversation. But new replies to older replies get buried with a “New” sort. When the post has only a few replies total, I can keep up simply by re-scanning the whole thread. On more popular posts that becomes infeasible. Please don’t beat me up too bad if I’m missing an obvious thing! I saw the user settings, “Show Read Posts”, but that seems to be post level, not reply level.

Depends on how you access Lemmy.

In Voyager I can click a comment to collapse it, and if I later return to the thread the comment stays collapse. So in effect, collapsing comments as I read them will hide them. However, it would also hide any replies to those comments.

Also, in Voyager at least, any replies to my comments and posts will show up in my inbox, newest on top.

D’oh! I should have specified, sorry!

I use the web interface through sh.itjust.works.

In that case, hit the bell icon on your top right, and select between “All” and “Unread”. It shows replies to your posts and comments.

That’s just replies to my comments though, isn’t it? What I am after is to see just the new posts to a thread, which mostly are from other people.
Correct, I thought that’s what you were after. Beyond that, I do not know. It seems that comments have some sort order in posts, but this seems to vary between new and top. Community specific, maybe?
Gotcha, thanks. I had a browse over the GIT issues too for Lemmy. I didn’t stumble into the right search terms to find much about this though.
