As per title… You have a working new comment counter, but unless I’m blind (please show I’m blind), the actual new comments don’t get highlighted when you go into the thread.
You must log in or register to comment.
Boost for Lemmy does it and it’s an awesome feature. I installed both Connect and Boost on my phone, but I find myself using Boost the most because the new comments are highlighted
Hi, thanks for the feedback and I’ve added highlights as an experimental setting in v163.
I’m still playing with the logic and highlight color so it might change more in the future. That information doesn’t come through the API so I’m saving a timestamp of when a post is viewed and any comments newer than the timestamp are highlighted.
Doesn’t seem to be working on mine but thankyou for looking into this!
Ok more and more posts are showing the highlight now, but it’s not consistent. Wonder what is happening in the background? 🧐
I’m keeping a timestamp locally of when a post is last viewed and highlighting everything newer than that timestamp. If you use multiple apps it might not be accurate but I couldn’t find a way to access this information from the API.
