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.

    Agreed. I have never intentionally collapsed a comment but done so many times accidentally. For all I care collapsing could be removed entirely.

    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.

        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?

    I liked click and hold to collapse (Reddit app style when I left Reddit)

    I don’t understand click once to collapse and click and hold to hide the voting bar. Why is hiding the voting bar a thing?

        What about long press to expand/collapse the chain and tap to show/hide the bar? Personally, most of my miss-clicks are attempts to click a link in the body. This results in everything collapsing and then needing to click to expand before trying again. I think it would be less frustrating if a miss-click of this type resulted in just the bar collapsing or expanding which doesn’t hide the link that was missed.
