Question: Does anyone else think the way that replies and comment (context) chains are designed is not really user friendly? (feddit.de)

See title. I'm grateful to the app creators, but as I use this app on a daily basis it hurts that I have to switch to sync just to get a proper grasp on what people are replying to regarding my comments.

The normal option, when pushing on replies, doesn't go high enough on the context chain. The context option however goes too high, adds extra 'side' replies and I find myself searching for my initial comment again, which is a painful and avoidable task.

A rework would greatly be appreciated. F.e. it would help if the context option would focus on the new reply and let me decide how far I want to scroll upwards. Instead of just focussing on the top level comment.

Absolutely, also tapping a comment collapses that comment when it would ideally collapse all sub comments under that comment.

I was reading a large comment the other day and my finger touched the screen, barely but enough, and I was 6 miles away from the collapsed single line of text I needed to click to read the end of my comment.

Please fix this and the replies context.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.
