Show replies as quotes
-
@[email protected] I think it would be a good idea to show posts that are in-reply-to as quotes in the reply. Right now, all you see is a tiny "replied to..." on the top. Since NodeBB can interoperate with Lemmy, it can get kind of confusing to follow some threads, as the forum UX presents the discussion as linear, while Lemmy is multi-threaded. Showing the original post as a quote would help with following the discussion.
However I think it would also be a good idea to offer a way to jump to the actual post as well. Perhaps the timestamp should be a link for that? Idk if that would be useful in chats as well. But in topics for sure, as you may want to jump up to that post a) to see other replies and b) to reply directly to it. So only viewing a copy of it above the reply will not always be enough.
-ugh someone give me some reputation, wdym i have to wait 300 seconds between replies- -
OK I am testing this on this forum now.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Might need to hide the parent UI element if it directly follows the post so there is less noise, for example in this topic all posts are replies to each other.

@[email protected] it looks pretty nice! Suggestions would be to have the ability to jump to the post via a button (if not already present). And maybe a user setting to expand or collapse these by default.

Clicking on the timestamp sends you to the parent post right now.

Ah hang on, there's a bit of a visual bug here though:
I think the "in reply to" bar should be inside
.post-container-parent, so it is in line with the avatar. What do you think? -
