Is anyone else having trouble with the "show context" button? When someone replies to you, it only shows what they said. When you click "show context", it.... only shows what they said. The only way to see what you said is to copy their reply and "show rest of comments" and then search for it - that is if it isn't on an instance that hides replies after the second level.
Yeeeeeeah. I feel like it used to work, and then something changed lately and it's super unreliable. Or rather it never works anymore
Ironically it is now working for this comment.
Does it not depend on the app?
Experiencing the same, hope someone reports it.
I'm on jerboa and linking to the parent of a reply shows me the context, but the thread indenting is reversed - instead of replies being indented to the right, all the parents are successively indented to the left instead.
Little bugs here and there, but I'm an optimist so I think it will get ironed out in time.
I felt like it was working briefly on my instance and now it's not again...
Just checked the issues and I don't see anything about context for the latest version. I think the devs are unaware.
