I can go back to the post, but it’s hard to find my comment when there are many. And having my name not be highlighted makes it even harder.
i found it dicey to get to the thread. have to click on the tiny thread title, which is not the expected behavior
Looks like this is fixed for the next version: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/634
I think it’s so funny that there’s a post with the majority of the comments agreeing that a feature that exists should be implemented!
But I have to admit I had no clue myself. Was even contemplating making a post like OP did. Thanks for the tip!
you know whats ironic. i got replies to this post, and when i see about that in jerboa it is pretty cryptic. i have no idea what i posted or what reply i got based on the interface. plus i dont remember anything because i drink too much. 🤷♂️
Seconded! This would be very helpful!
Seconded. This is the most important feature for me that’s lacking right now.
I actually had the same problem, the solution is to click on the little chain icon underneath the message.
But I agree that that should be the default when you press on an item in the notification list.
My problem is, that these icons aren’t there for me. Just the text, then nothing/the next replay.
Tap and hold the comment header, that will expand the options. This should be fixed in the next version.
I was going to say, that it doesn’t work, but it seems that I just missed the right spot to tap. That works, thanks!
Maybe try long pressing? There’s a setting to always show this toolbar under comments, might also influence this view
Sadly, no…
Huh, seems to be a bug then. What version are you running?
I’m on 0.0.33 from the Google Play Store. I just checked, there’s no update listed for me
0.0.34 in my case, maybe try that version through github or f-droid
You have to long press on the “1” in the top right. The number of upvotes.
Then you’ll see the bar with the options arrive.
Yes. This is very very intuitive and the bae should be expanded by default. Don’t ask me 😅

In Jerboa it’s buried in a submenu. In the inbox screen, click on the three dots menu for a comment reply and there will be a “go to comment” button
Doesn’t the little link button do that already?
Yes, I was thinking of the profile page
+1
If you click the chain icon, does it open the thread?
The first part at least is already there in version 0.0.34 (which isn’t available in the Play store yet): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/597
Would be good to have it jump to the comment, or have a way to reply directly
I can reply directly from my inbox. Can you not?
Nope. Though I’m not using the latest build, only the one on play store. I tried to reply yesterday but had a language error on my other account
Help to be able to reply from my inbox as well.
This is already there, but very very hard to find and know unless you know it. This definitely needs UX improvement.
First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded. Then press on the chain link button below to directly open the post!
Actually, the web UI takes you to that particular comment, but not Jerboa 🤷. Haven’t looked at code, but I bet it’s a bug, cuz sometimes (rarely) it does work, but most of the time, no.
In Jerboa you just have to click the link icon and it takes you to the context, just like it was on reddit
Sometimes, yes, most of the time, no. It just takes me to that thread/post, that’s it, not the actual reply/comment.
This one?
Yeah, that one, the chain. I presume it has something to do with too many nested comments, but I’m not sure.
