Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask sorry, but how do I tell which comments are new on a thread I've already visited? Like on the frontpage it says "x new comments", but when I go into the thread I can't tell which ones are new. I'm accessing Lemmy using a browser.

iiuc easiest way to tell is to just sort comments by new, also very new comments are temporarily highlighted by a lighter grey background, but that’s about it i think 🤷‍♀️

So there's no way to easily see which child comments are new since you've last visited the thread?

Even if not, it should be fairly simple to make an extension or userscript that does it. All the necessary data is already on the page. If Lemmy really does blow up I'm sure we'll get something like RES that gives us more frontend customization options.

Wondering the same. Some comments are highlighted for me and some aren't.

Might be a bug or might be grounds for a feature request.
