Question: Does anyone else think the way that replies and comment (context) chains are designed is not really user friendly? (feddit.de)

See title. I'm grateful to the app creators, but as I use this app on a daily basis it hurts that I have to switch to sync just to get a proper grasp on what people are replying to regarding my comments.

The normal option, when pushing on replies, doesn't go high enough on the context chain. The context option however goes too high, adds extra 'side' replies and I find myself searching for my initial comment again, which is a painful and avoidable task.

A rework would greatly be appreciated. F.e. it would help if the context option would focus on the new reply and let me decide how far I want to scroll upwards. Instead of just focussing on the top level comment.

I actually like this and always found it confusing in other apps when the comment I was tapping on was not collapsed. Especially if it was a really long comment that took up all the screen.

Please keep it.
