Setting in Lemmy profile for default sorting of comments in posts (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago by Caaaaarrrrlll@lemmy.ml to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
4 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

I'm getting tired of every time I load a post that it defaults to sorting comments by Hot, and I prefer sorting by Top, so I have to load each post I read twice. There's only a setting to default sort posts this way, not comments in posts.

top 4 comments
sorted by: hot top controversial new old

This would be a great setting, especially if the toggle is easily accessible in the UI. I personally want to change between Top/New comments fairly frequently.

Related to this. I also think lemmy-ui should establish a URL convention for sorting. When you are viewing posts, the sort parameter is on the URL and you can link to a specific sort. But not for reading of comments on a post.

Are you using the web interface? Liftoff mobile app has comment sorting as a setting.
