YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

TLDR: Tap and hold on a comment to collapse it.

I was missing the feature from RiF that let you hide and collapse comment chains. I only just figured out how to do this on the Connect Android app.

By pressing and holding on a comment you hide that comment and all replies to it letting you easily skip down to the next parent comment.

Every last single app I've tried has this. That can't seriously be a selling point.

[–] Valinor000 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe not a selling point sure, but something I wasn't aware of. I came across it by accident :)

The "Reverse Comment Interactions" option in Settings makes it a single tap instead. I'm used to that so it's nice the app has various customization options to cater to different users.

Oh that's even better! Thanks!

It's not exclusive to Connect though.
I use Mlem @ iOS and I can collapse comment too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So does Jerboa. I keep hitting it by accident.

[–] martinbasic 2 points 1 year ago

I keep collapsing the sub-comments because I keep thinking long pressing on the main comment = the context menu of the comment

[–] eek2121 2 points 1 year ago

Same with wefwef.

[–] Valinor000 1 points 1 year ago

I'm glad to hear that other apps have this too. Connect is the first one I've tried and the feature makes browsing alot easier

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much every Lemmy app currently in production let's you do this, tbh.

It's invariably either by a single press or a long press on the parent comment.

[–] Valinor000 2 points 1 year ago

I'm really glad this is a standard feature, it's super useful!
