What are your most wanted features? (self.alexandrite)

It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone's wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it's a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn't support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

Being able to save/favourite a comment. It's available for posts but not comments ... even though the best stuff is always buried in the comments!!

Also, most or even all of the menu options lemmy provides for comments are probably useful. Seeing the source can be useful for seeing how markdown works and copying text. The blocking and reporting options are probably important too. And the "send message/DM" option could also come in handy (?)

Hey I just added all of this, and a few extra options on posts. Also you can manage blocked users in the settings too.

All of it is stuffed in an overflow menu, so I didn't bother showing the loading indicator and stuff like I do with the other actions. Maybe I should add some more toasts for successful actions too (everywhere, not just here).

Edit: Moved 'save' out of the overflow menu to match posts.

Nice! Quick check on mobile and it all looks good!!

Yeah I've been meaning to add those but I had been waiting until I did the client side API usage rewrite before doing more stuff, now I can do that. I'll throw it on my todo list for stuff to do after work today.

Awesome! No rush here ... I'm just casually shooting suggestions
