  • I think the community and user button was removed to reduce the size of that particular overflow menu, which can help with the user interface on devices with smaller screens and or lower resolution screens. It seemed like a decent compromise since tapping directly from the feed would be faster.

    I suggested the removal in a post but it didn’t solicit any replies opposed to the idea. Maybe it was a bad suggestion and I’m curious to hear the specifics of what people dislike about the change. Like I’m still trying to get used to not tapping on the community name at the top, when you’re viewing a post, to visit the community; which was changed to refresh the post like a while back. So I can understand developing muscle memory and having to adjust to changes. Is the change annoying because of a forced workflow change or like loss of functionality?





















  • It seemed like it was fixed in v246 but somehow broke again in that version? I’m on v249 and still haven’t seen any comments highlighted.

    EDIT: I post that and then it works one time. It randomly works but mostly not for me.

    EDIT2: Specifically, I have the comment button as a secondary button and when there’s an orange number, that means there’s new comments but when I view those posts, most of the time there’s no highlighting whatsoever.






  • A post he made awhile back is pertinent so I’ll quote the relevant part.

    Leaving Reddit (and twitter) was never about shutting myself out, it’s entirely because those platforms are run by vile people and I can’t stand to use them anymore. Back in the early days Reddit was 100% of my community interaction, and I admit I do miss participating in big discussion threads there, but these days the majority of my communication time is through direct messages (mainly email) and that’s been the case for years.
