Apologies if this has been posted before, or implemented without me finding how to do it.
Would be great if there’d be a button for jumping to the next top-level comment. Possibly at the lower-right corner, as some other apps. Long-press for previous would be great, too.
Yes, I know there’s support for collapsing comments. But you have to have it in view to do that. If you’re browsing a long thread and want to jump to the next top-level comment, it becomes a bit of a chore.
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?
