You can already do number 1, on the browser by clicking the collapse icon and on the official android app (Jerboa) by holding down your finger on the right of the commenter's username.

The official Android App (Jerboa) is nice but barely usable, at least it has a "big card" viewing mode that my instance browser view lacks (btw, is there some sort of desktop viewer (either Linux or browser based) that is better?).

The absence of working intra-instances is painful and one of the major downside of Lemmy.

Everything else is jolly good, and if more people would join it would be better since a lot of topics have barely no communities ones that exist are severely underpopulated.

Overall, Lemmy shows a lot of potential and I will try to use it but it isn't really ready for daily-driving yet.
