TLDR: Tap and hold on a comment to collapse it.
I was missing the feature from RiF that let you hide and collapse comment chains. I only just figured out how to do this on the Connect Android app.
By pressing and holding on a comment you hide that comment and all replies to it letting you easily skip down to the next parent comment.
The “Reverse Comment Interactions” option in Settings makes it a single tap instead. I’m used to that so it’s nice the app has various customization options to cater to different users.
Oh that’s even better! Thanks!
