Go to: Settings - Comment Customization - Default sort for comments - select either Hot, Top, New, Old
You may then need to exit Connect and reopen Connect for the default sort to take affect.
"Connect is as much your app as it is mine."
And it is that user focus and can-do attitude that makes Connect my favorite Lemmy app and Kuro an exceptional developer. Thanks to Kuro for weaving the magic bits and to fellow Connecters for your suggestions and observations!
Yeah, unfortunately that egotistic extreme response is prevalent and encouraged in current affairs.
I also noticed this "sorting" of saved Comments after the saved Posts.
Looks like an opportunity to Post a [Feature Request] , to either correctly sort Saved posts and Comments together, or have a selection/filter to display just the saved Posts or saved Comments.
There are some Lemmy apps that do have this option to display saved Posts or Comments separately.
Per the Liberapay site, one-time donations aren't properly supported yet, but you can discontinue your donation immediately after the first payment.
My vote for next changes would be to have granular theme customizations (choosing specific color to apply to specific screen elements), AND the ability to export / import themes and settings. Tablet UI features would also be nice (e.g., landscape mode for posts | comments in side-by-side panels).
Currently, I don't see a way to create a community on the sh.itjust.works instance. Perhaps contact one of the mods?
Or, if you have an account on another Lemmy instance that allows community creation, you could create one there.
Fedilab is quite good, lots of customization features. You can get it from F-Droid.
RedReader is a working Reddit app alternative. Free and open source.
