I miss you RIF. I just wanna see the daddy comments.
Wefwef supports this. It’s quite nice.
Yes!!! I’ve just installed and found the option in the settings. Thank you, thank you!!!
Cool - I’ll try that one. Thanks!
“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.
I have been using jerboa almost exclusively. It seems to have support for that since I joined 3 or so weeks ago
Jerboa has it, only problem now is it started crashing randomly :(
No problems on the latest Jerboa for me.
I think most Lemmy clients right now are in Alpha stages. I’m not surprised I’m constantly getting errors, crashes etc.
I think Lemmy not having it’s probably due to the fact that there was always so few comments on post, it wasn’t really necessarily. There are a bunch of apps in development from Redditch 3rd party developers that had it
That’s a very good point! I’ve no doubt it’ll be a feature on a future app or update.
WefWef is by far the best so far. But god knows I miss my content filters :(
Edit:
I really enjoy the form factor of wefwef though. It feels like it packs a lot of functionality into a small amount of space.
I would also like to see scrolling left/right through posts like bacon reader had. It’s frustrating opening a post and then when going back it drops me at the top of the feed again… tried jerboa, website as app on Android, just some qol stuff missing so far.
Same as you, wonder how hard it is to contribute and implement that behavior
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?
Its a web app, no downloading required, it runs on your browser and you create/install a browser instance as an app, www.wefwef.app
Liftoff recently added this as well.
Connect for Lemmy has comment collapsing
I could only get it to collapse clicking one by one, not as default :/ Downloaded WefWef now as suggested by someone else… The infuriation has gone from mild to trace amounts.
wait what some apps don’t support comment collapsing?
it was the first feature I tried to add in my client
In 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.
Agreed. It seems like such a basic feature. I’m missing it on kbin
I 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.
I think that’s more an issue of design. Apollo made it pretty clear there were collapsed comments.
