Change what tapping on a comment does? (lemmy.ca)

I keep missing the vote buttons and accidentally tap on comments which then collapses them. I've accidentally collapsed/expanded some comments several times trying to vote.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm not seeing that changes this? Maybe to a long press or force needing to use the three dot menu to collapse instead.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

The tapping areas are, weirdly, super precise and not very intuitive or well explained. I would have gotten used to it but as a new user this was incredibly frustrating.

Can you expand on this?

I can try, but only to say the tapping behaviour wasn't intuitive. Depending where you tapped the comments would either collapse and expand or the vote controls would disappear. The tapping difference seemed, at first, quite similar (as in the tap area and sensitivity was really close and extremely high) so I had a hard time understanding what I was doing to cause these behaviours. What confused me more was that the behaviour between the home page and a thread didn't seem consistent at first which made it harder to understand.

Like I said I'm used to it now but it took me a while to get there where as I was expecting something like the following:

  • Tap on a minus symbol to collapse.
  • Minus symbol turns into a plus symbol to expand.
  • Why do the vote controls need to disappear at all?

Bottom bar collapse exists the other way, some users prefer to not see the bar by default and then you can hold to show the bar.

I definitely wanted to make, tap/hold actions fully configureable. It's somewhere on the backlog, I'll create an issue if it doesn't have it already.
