or at least show a timer
it's like i'll be reading a comment and then it goes somewhere else like what the fuck bro
dev here, handling this is a high priority. we have to complete the react migration first
More generally, click the three dots below the comment and then click the little page icon to see the comment as it was written.
it's actually a bit simpler than it seems, since it's built with inferno. but still time consuming work!
there is a 30 second timer between updates and when it gets to 10 or below and you're currently reading a comment, the time left displays prominently above the cursor, and it plays the sonic drowning countdown music
God no, please, not the sonic drowning countdown music, anything but the sonic drowning countdown music hahaha 🙈
I hate when I upvote the highest comment in the branch and then the whole thing disappears so I can't read the rest :(
I kinda like it but then it also made me almost report the wrong guy because the page got swept with a bunch of John Kerry bullshit, so that's not fun
Idk, I kinda like it. It has some bugs that need fixing, but I like it overall
I feel like it needs to be an option under profile, if possible.
afaik, the devs know that some ppl don't like the thing, and there's a conversation happening around building a toggle
Maybe implement a compromise™ cool algorithm that would fix in place only the comments you're looking at?
Honestly it sounds like too much effort.
I think this is a good enough idea that it warrants a post in !feedback :)
Agree. It's a good feature but it lacks feedback for the users. It doesn't tell them where the comment went, or when it will move. Preferably it shouldn't move a comment currently being read (click on the comments to mark them like reddit?)
I feel like making them 'slide' instead of 'snap' would solve a lot of the usability problems ppl run into. But I also know that the devs have big plans for this place, and that they're working really quickly at them .
Yep, animated slide to their new place would remove all confusion it causes.
If the scrollbar position was also adjusted to where the comment went. <chef kiss>
I appreciate the complexity of the problem that the auto updating presents to the dev team. Thanks to all of you for the hard work that's been put into this site
Ya, I'm just an mod with admin characteristics, but I see some of the internal workings of what the devs are up to, and it's very impressive. They are extremely coordinated, dedicated, and good at what they do. They put so much into this site, and it consistently blows me away. Go devs!

I've just started doing ctrl+a ctrl+c every once in a while when I'm typing a bigger post, otherwise I usually get em out quick enough to avoid it
this can protect you until the issue is solved https://hexbear.net/post/3465

Yeah, thats what I was using. Works an looks great for me, even in a tablet from 9 years ago.
The icon looks a bit bad because I use lightning browser in the tablet but the rest is great.
