I’m new to Lemmy, days not weeks. Liking it so far and I’m trying to contribute in a positive way to the instance.
I have one usability issue, trying to figure out which replies in a post are new since I last read it. I see the number like (4 New) telling me how many, but not which.
Sorting by “New” hardly helps because of the threaded display. Threading is a good thing, IMO, since it preserves the flow of the conversation. But new replies to older replies get buried with a “New” sort. When the post has only a few replies total, I can keep up simply by re-scanning the whole thread. On more popular posts that becomes infeasible.
Please don’t beat me up too bad if I’m missing an obvious thing! I saw the user settings, “Show Read Posts”, but that seems to be post level, not reply level.
Editing because I am an idiot: I use the web interface through https://sh.itjust.works/.
That’s just replies to my comments though, isn’t it? What I am after is to see just the new posts to a thread, which mostly are from other people.
Correct, I thought that’s what you were after. Beyond that, I do not know. It seems that comments have some sort order in posts, but this seems to vary between new and top. Community specific, maybe?
Gotcha, thanks. I had a browse over the GIT issues too for Lemmy. I didn’t stumble into the right search terms to find much about this though.
