When sorting comments by Top, you can get a situation shown in the image where a child comment has more comments than the parent, causing the parent comment to be hidden. Clicking “View Parent…” scrolls down to the parent comment, but it’s shown without the connection to the child comment - which is very confusing.
I can’t think of a situation where someone would ever want to read a child comment without seeing the context of what the comment is replying to. Is there a way to disable this type of situation while still being able to sort comments by Top?
You must log in or register to comment.
Ok this is all fixed. Will go live tomorrow morning.
Legend. This and then making the default view for the profile page being both posts and comments and the app will be just like how I remembered it
Dude, you are amazing. I was bouncing back and forth between 3 Lemmy apps, but you just sealed the deal with Sync for me. Thanks!
Do you have a link? Want to test my fix

That’s where I grabbed my screenshot from and looks like it’s still there, but a few down from the top now.
is a bug, and it is tracked on GitHub. is one of the pinned ones.
the dev said it was fixed on beta 34, but he did not close the issue. so apparently there is more.
anyway, what you are seeing is a bug and will be fixed, if you want to contribute, post the screenshot in the issue.
Good to know, thanks!
Yeah this bugs the hell out of me too.
This weirdness also happens when a child has more points than the parent (sorting by top)
Yeah it doesn’t make sense. Took me a while to figure out what’s happening
