Looks interesting, but I don't think it's FOSS

Most of them don't know about it

 

Sometimes when viewing a federated, or local, post with 50+ comments I am interested in seeing comments from my instance (if there are any) first.

So there could be a toggle for that next to the comments sort options.

You join a community (instance) for a reason, and so it makes sense that you might value their comments a tad bit more by default.

And I suppose someone could use this toggle to only read top comments from their own instance. Maybe it's a political post and you don't wanna read any .world or sjw comments.

Nice. Does anyone know a good place to pirate Android games?

even after sunset or on cloudy days.

How does this work?

 

“The money was good. I miss it. I miss being up there and there were funny moments. The Queen would be out on the balcony and I was right above her on the roof, all the crowd was waving. That was funny – you’d think, ‘Are they waving at her or at me because I’m a good roofer?’”

 

I've enjoyed:

Into the Breach, 40 hours of playtime

FTL, 25 hours

Slay the Spire, 17 hours

Balatro, 13 hours

Monster Train, 8 hours

The most recent one is Dead Cells, 19 hours

 

Someone mentioned Ruffle and I feel like playing some flash games but I don't know where to start. I tried looking for a collection and came across Flashpoint, but I need something a bit more curated.

Having to expand it manually would help make the page look less cluttered. What I'm suggesting is that you have the Crossposts section at the bottom beneath the comments and for the user to be able to expand crossposts and read their post text and comments, essentially combining the crossposts display with the idea of fetching and showing comments from crossposts together.

I was checking Photon's settings and I noticed they have this option

I know it's unrelated but I thought it might interest you, and I don't have a github account to open an issue.

There was some discussion about it in Dessalines's recent post. The reason I think it might be visually overwhelming is because of long titles and because sometimes there are a dozen crossposts. Maybe something like Photon's crossposts display can be combined with the other idea of showing comments from crossposts, two birds one stone kind of thing.

I'm just gonna copy a comment I made on Dessalines's post:

Combine posts and not just comments.

In addition to my other suggestions I think showing crossposts with their own comments would be very easy to understand and no one would miss the context because the title and body text of each post would be there. Basically add a section at the end that says "Crossposts" and have a little 🛈 or � next to it that explains the whole thing, when you click on "Crossposts" it expands and shows post previews like when you're browsing (with the + sign to see body text) and the comments appear below the preview. And this could be off by default so it wouldn't confuse new users.

This is just feedback, I do appreciate your work, and I know implementing ideas is not always easy.

Looks good, I'm gonna ping @dessalines@lemmy.ml in case they didn't see this comment.

It just occurred to me that crossposts sometimes have different body texts and the comments could be in the context of that, and even if we disregard the comments altogether, you might still wanna read the body text. The convenience of having all comments grouped together would mean that no one will go check each crosspost and read its body text, how would you know that there is one anyway?

Maybe there could be a button that shows the body text of each crosspost, either as a popup or a collapsible block

 

The line that shows the links to other crossposts should add a (#comments), if there is any, after each link.

Some links get crossposted to multiple communities but I don't know if any of these posts have any comments and it's tedious to check them out one by one, and in my experience most of them don't have any comments which discourages me from checking them out.

Also crosspost links could be in order of comments.

Another idea: instead of (#comments) it could be a different color or some other indicator.

 

I know this has been debated a lot during his first term but I'm interested in your thoughts now.

 

What is the best way to do it and what apps do you recommend?
