Is it somehow possible to jump to the next top level comment in a thread? I find it really tedious to scroll through or collapse subcomments I’m not interested in. There was a button in Infinity for Reddit for this. I didn’t see something alike here in Jerboa.

    Oh boy, I got good news for you. That is a great feature that I am also looking forward to and I already saw it in the github pull requests! The preview looks really good (better than e.g. the current implementation in Boost for Reddit which is way too small and disappears after some time). Not sure if it is in the next version but it should hopefully be added soon!

    Quick comment navigation

    The latest version (0.0.35) is out already and has this feature. So far it’s only on github I think, but you could install it from that apk if you can’t wait for the play store release.

    Some other things might be broken (default sort no longer seems to be remembered for instance) and you’ll have trouble connecting to instances that are not yet on lemmy 0.18 (this might be the majority currently; lemmy.ml is a big one that already updated), but apart from that, it’s looking good.

    I also very much appreciated this feature in Boost for Reddit - up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate top level comments, and holding down the up button took you to the top of the post. Quite handy!

      Yeah, but if you’re part way through a long comment chain, you have to scroll up to scroll up to find the parent to collapse. It’s tedious.

      For what it’s worth, Relay for Reddit also had a jump to next/previous parent feature, and it was great.

      I know. I specifically mentioned that. Problem is, I might still need to scroll a lot to get back to the top level comment if I read a while in a lengthy discussion.

      Luckily it seems that the feature is coming sonn. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
