At the moment if you're inside a post and you want to refresh the comments you have to go all the way to the top and do the pull-down to refresh. Generally this is fine.
However a lot of communities have "live" posts where people watch a tv show or a sports event together. Especially with sports events the actual post text might be really long and requires a lot of scrolling to get past.
For instance a typical live sports thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1156203
I'm sorting by comments by "New" to easily follow the live chat. However to refresh, I need to scroll up about 10 pages on a mobile to get to the top of the post (all the scores and match details are being live updated by a bot in the post body). And then after a refresh I have to scroll all they way back down.
If there was somewhere to just press a refresh button when down in the comments or at the bottom of the post body. I think BaconReader used to have it in the top menu bar of the app. Just an option in the 3 dots menu to refresh would be fine.
Thanks!
Exactly. Just put it in the same place inside the comment section.
