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.

    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).
