      I think I know what they mean

      So, here’s a recent comment thread I was in: just some silly nonsense

      Here’s what I see when I view that thread after clicking on a message in my inbox. I’m missing the parent comment, which in long threads especially, can be very confusing: where I highlighted in red, iirc, Apollo used to have a button that was like “show context” and it would load in more parents

        Oh, I see! Yes that would be a great feature request and I’ve thought about it in the past. Thanks for the explanation. Can you add this to GitHub if you have time?
