I love the addition of a way to navigate to the next/previous top level comments. I have a suggestion about the way it is implemented.

Currently you have to have a top level comment selected to activate that menu, but sometimes a comment chain is quite long so you end up having to either scroll up or down a fair way to get back to that menu.

I'd like to suggest a UI change, using a screenshot from Slide for Reddit as an example, you can see there's a floating, translucent bar along the bottom of the screen (just above my phone's navigation buttons) which you can press and it finds the next/previous top level post no matter where you are in the current chain.

Agreed. Most reddit apps worked like this and made it easier to navigate comments.

Yes please. RIF had it and I do miss that feature. Though I need to mention that Connect has made improvements in leaps and bounds recently and has truly increased my satisfaction level with Lemmy (thank you to the devs).

Agreed. I really like the app for browsing posts, but don't like it for comment jumping. Jerboa for instance has the buttons at the bottom.

Yeah man! Slide was the best. I'm following your development for Lemmy too.
