Haven given it some more thought, I think the issue is, that what I was looking for was specifically “take me to the next top level comment”. Not “collapse current thread”. In actual effect, it doesn’t make much difference. Nevertheless, it is like taking a detour to get to the destination.

Perhaps both (collapse thread; jump to next top-level comment) could be swipeable options?

Maybe a floating button, visible when viewing posts with comments, could be seen when “jump to next” hasn’t been chosen as a swipe-option? That way, the option will be clearly in place out of the box, but won’t be an eyesore for those who have set up a swipe for the action?

I’d say the name is apt and descriptive, once you realize it does exactly what it purports to do. It’s just different than what has become the norm (in the Reddit and Lemmy apps that I have used).

Oh I see. Would’ve expected collapse thread swipe option to collapse all child comments of the specific comment that is swiped, not entire thread from top-level.

Great! 🙏

Incidentally, I opened Avelon fullscreen on iPad today -- wonderful!

For sure!

User link, like in the prior comment, doesn't seem to work either.

The community link in the comment I'm replying to now is broken in Avelon, but does work in, say, Voyager. So something about the surrounding (non-linking) exclamation marks or parenthesis breaks the community-link identification mechanism. Ping @[email protected]

Still worked. (There were some other special characters as well, in the linked comment. Like parenthesis.) Could that be it? Otherwise, it is something else! Testing... [email protected] (Obviously, doesn't matter which community is linked. But sticking to it!) :-) This is the last thing I'm trying.

That also worked. Let's see if it is an exclamation mark prior to the link that throws it off! Community link next: [email protected] And some other text that follows.

Right. So the link to the community on the standalone line works. The same link within the chunk of text in the previously linked comment does not. Next, trying to link it inline here. [email protected]

Hi! Thank you for the reply. The link in your comment does indeed work.

Try opening this comment in Avelon: https://lemm.ee/comment/1870509

It contains a community link that does not work in Avelon. Does work in some other apps. I'll try writing it on an emtpy line next in this comment, to test if Avelon then recognizes it. That is, if it's something in the surrounding text in the linked comment that might be the issue.
