Floating button to skip to next comment

Not sure if this has come up, but one UI element I liked from Apollo and “the-one-that-shall-not-be-named” was the floating button in a thread that would take you to the next top level comment in that thread. Not sure what this feature is called, but so far can’t find it in any Lenny/Kbin client. Is this something that is in Memmy’s pipeline?

Yes I’ve been working on this. I have it working, but we need to make long comment chains be collapsed by default like Apollo did. So it’s blocked until we do that.

Alexandrite (a website, desktop-first Lemmy interface) just added this feature in yesterday’s update. And yeah, it would be really nice to have this on Memmy.

Will have to give a spin.

Lol figured. Similar subject as well.

Oh interesting, I’m not sure I’m familiar with the button, despite using Apollo for years. Would have come in handy to have known lol.

Usually what I do is I just collapse comments as I go, so the next post sort of comes up to me. Doesn’t work well if you’re in the middle of a very popular thread, though
