Request to swap comment collapse interactions (single click vs hold) (lemmy.ml)

Enjoying Jerboa. Just hoping that a small bit of feedback gets noticed that would improve the experience for me a lot.

When reading comments, single click collapses the thread, whilst holding just collapses/expands that one comments vote buttons. Could there please be an option to swap thess two actions?

I can't help but feel the UX would be improved, at least for myself (but hopefully others), if I could show/hide vote buttons on single tap, and only hide the whole comment thread if I long hold the comment. Right now I keep accidentally collapsing stuff I'm reading the replies to.

Thanks for a great app.

This one. I liked it the way Boost was.

Just went to see if there is any issue open in this direction. And yes there is quite some discussion, and it's more complex than just this...

Also an option to have vote buttons collapsed by default would be nice.

Like, 99% of the comments I see, I don't upvote or reply. I use those buttons maybe once a day, but have to see those buttons hundreds of times in each thread, they just take up space without being any useful most of the time.

Maybe it's just me, but that's why I ask for an option and not for having it that way for everyone.

Unless I misunderstood you, this is available in Jerboa under setting - look and feel - uncheck the "show action bar for comments by default" or something like that

Oh it's actually there. I'm not sure if I'm dumb or if it's a new feature that was added after some recent updates.

Thanks a lot!

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
