Could we collapse whole comment threads instead of leaving the top comment visible? (lemmy.world)

When I've read a comment thread and want to skip to the next one it's a bit annoying having the top comment still there even though the thread is collapsed, especially when it's a comment such as the TLDR bot.

Could we have the option to collapse threads leaving just the commenter name and an option button to reopen the thread if needed?

Yes it's possible.

See this option.

Settings shortcut: Comment options > Collapse parent

TIL. I didn't care about this too much but I just turned it on and I kinda like it

[-] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ah brilliant, thanks so much! So many options to choose from so I didn't spot this one.

[-] skadden@ctrlaltelite.xyz 12 points 10 months ago

I can see the markdown that generated that neat link but how did you make it?

It's a special feature in Sync. Just long press an option in settings and it copies the markdown to your clipboard

Press and hold any menu item in settings and all of the markdown required gets put in your clipboard.
