As kbin gets more popular I’ve started to notice a recurring trend: when people respond to my comments I will get notified. I click on the notification, and it brings me to the thread.

In most cases it’ll scroll down to my comment and the reply that I was notified of, so I can respond back.

however, if the thread is large kbin splits up the comments into separate “pages”. and if my comment and the reply happens to not be on the first page, it won’t be shown and won’t be scrolled to. instead I have to manually click through each page of the thread and look for my comment and the reply.

once kbin starts getting bigger (along with the fediverse as a whole) I imagine there will likely end up being hundreds of these pages, and it’ll be impossible to find my comment again.

Perhaps this is a bug? But it’d be nice if clicking the notification brought me to my actual comment and the reply, rather than just the thread as a whole (and scrolling to the comment). The latter is nice when threads are small, but when they get larger it becomes unusable. When I click the notification, I wanna immediately be able to respond to the person replying, not have to dig through the thread again.

I think kbin already supports viewing a single comment+replies, so it should be an easy enough change? @ernest I know you’ve got a lot on your plate right now but please consider this :)

    I’m having the same issue, I’m going to assume it’s a bug but I’m not sure where to report it. I’m boosting the thread for visibility in the meantime.

    click the gear icon and select infinite scroll, this might fix the issue so there are no pages

      I have infinite scroll enabled. The infinite scrolling works for my feed, but not for comments in threads.

          yeah for small threads like these it works fine. it brings you to the thread and scrolls down to the comment. but when there’s like 3-4 pages of comments, it only shows you page one and doesn’t briing you to page 3 with your comment.
