There's also the "collapse thread" swipe gesture that does this. Might do a button too later!
I like the option for a button because it can often be in a better position for my thumb to reach than swiping a comment, and if you add the functionality, a long press on it jumps to the previous comment.
Edit: Avelon is freaking great tho! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for your time and effort!
Oh I see. Would’ve expected collapse thread swipe option to collapse all child comments of the specific comment that is swiped, not entire thread from top-level.
Hmm, the name might not be the best. Any suggestions? Needs to be somewhat short too
Haven given it some more thought, I think the issue is, that what I was looking for was specifically “take me to the next top level comment”. Not “collapse current thread”. In actual effect, it doesn’t make much difference. Nevertheless, it is like taking a detour to get to the destination.
Perhaps both (collapse thread; jump to next top-level comment) could be swipeable options?
Maybe a floating button, visible when viewing posts with comments, could be seen when “jump to next” hasn’t been chosen as a swipe-option? That way, the option will be clearly in place out of the box, but won’t be an eyesore for those who have set up a swipe for the action?
I’d say the name is apt and descriptive, once you realize it does exactly what it purports to do. It’s just different than what has become the norm (in the Reddit and Lemmy apps that I have used).
I'd like this too. I used the jump button all the time on every Reddit app I used, but it's missing on (most of) the Lemmy apps.
