I absolutely cannot stand this behavior, if I accidentally tap instead of scroll then comment trees will expand/collapse and then I feel lost. Jerboa has this behavior and it was the most annoying thing about it when I used it, I'd say it was close to making me feel nauseous at times.

But hey, that's the great thing about Sync being so customizable, you can choose whatever behavior you prefer!

Yeah, I really appreciate the fact that it's an action that can't be done accidentally in most cases.

I think hide feature is broken. Hide 1st post in the feed, restart app, see the hidden post...

Just worked on your post.

[โ€“] haych@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been getting this, but if I press Hide all Read posts then it'll go away again.

[โ€“] gdelopata@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That's it! Thank you, this works, but I have not found option to enable that by default...

I really like having inline linking on, for both usernames and communities.

Settings shortcut: Link handling > Tap usernames to open

List or bust.

hmm. the collapse parent setting isn't working for me for some reason. it's on but the parent comments aren't collapsing. dunno what's going wrong on my end ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

I think that for "parent" it means the comment you are clicking, eg.:

|-- comment A

|---- subcomment B

if you have that enabled and you collapse A, both A and B are collapsed

if you have that disabled and you collapse A, only B is collapsed
