On desktop, I was trying to figure out how to get from the notifications list ( https://kbin.social/settings/notifications ) to the specific comment.
It just links to the top of the thread and I have to ctrl-F
for my handle. Which doesn’t work easily on long threads or nested comments.
The link in notifications includes an anchor, for example #entry-comment-612642
.
If I find the comment and click more
> share URL
, I get the same anchor link, which also just links to the top of the thread, example: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/152720/r-BotDefense-is-shutting-down-I-hope-Reddit-likes-spam-and#entry-comment-612642
If I click more
> copy URL to fediverse
, I get a correctly working link on the commenter’s home instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/768070
Edited out an idea for a workaround which actually doesn’t work. And edited the title to remove reference to this.
That’s a good observation. If you have the time and the will, it might be helpful to add this observation to the ticket I linked.
good idea, I did!
