How do you follow conversations? (self.lemmy_support)

On most third party apps they have indent lines or guided lines, and you can basically follow the conversation. On lemmy they have the lines but no way to collapse a parent comment or follow along. Am i missing something?

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

From the web-ui, when viewing a post with comments, each comment has a header line with the username of the commenter, and to the right of that a box with a dash in it. Click the dash. It collapses the thread and turns into a plus.

Is that what you're looking for? I'm not sure what "follow along" means. But collapsing is easy enough.

I probably said it wrong. How do you view parent comments and follow the conversation in jerobe or Desktop web ui. I see sometimes the first comment is blue then the reply to that is green then there is a comment that is directly commenting on the parent comment. That's what i meant

Sorry, still not following. Maybe someone else who gets it better can chime in.

It's fine. Thanks though. Also btw what app are you coming from reddit? I've tried them all so if I know what client you used I can probably tell you what I'm trying to say
