Hi guys!

First of all, I just want to say thank you again for creating such a great platform. I'm really loving it here, and I hope that I'm not being a pest to anyone. (Please let me know if I'm rubbing you the wrong way and I'll do my best to right my wrongs.)

Anyway, I've noticed something on comment replies....

These two links on comment/post replies in your inbox:

On both of them, the tooltip says "Show Context" but the first one (the link one) actually is the one that shows the context and the second one (the colorful one) is more of just a permanlink to the comment.

Shouldn't the tooltip say "permalink" on the colorful one?

The icon on the left is "context", on your home instance. On the right is the "fediverse" link, which takes you to the home instance of the poster.

Basically the same thing, one is local the other remote.

At least that is how I've come to understand them.

Ahh, that kind of makes sense. I can see that. I guess the tooltips should be more descriptive, in my opinion.

You can make a pull request in the lemmy-ui repo to improve it.
