It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

    I don’t know if this made it the best app, but joey had this arrow up button on every comment. It will collapse all previous sibling comment so you can easily see the parent comments and find the context.

    For example when you tap the up arrow on comment G this is what happens:

    • A collapsed
    • B
      • C collapsed
      • D
        • E collapsed
        • F collapsed
        • G

    As you can see it preserve the comment chain and quickly remind you of the context. This is extremely useful on a busy thread. I haven’t seen this feature on any other reddit apps. I wish lemmy apps could adopt this feature

      Seems like the newest version of the Connect for Lemmy app has a version of this feature. If you tap a comment, an option comes up that says “< Parent”. Tapping it will automatically scroll you up to the very top parent comment. For example, doing that on my comment here would scroll you up to Saneless’s comment above that started this whole conversation.
