So not sure how to explain this but bear with me.
I find the collapse all comments to top-level very useful because I cannot ignore things when they are all uncollapsed which means I often never get to focus on what I find most compelling or needed and end up going down constant rabbit holes :(
I wanted to suggest and request an option (you can toggle if you like it) elaboration of this feature so that when you uncollapse a top-levels children, those children are uncollapsed but their children replies (or grandchildren) are collapsed in turn and so on.
This would be absolutely killer and I am happy to explain further or discuss more.
What does everyone think? This would be a godsend for accessibillity for ADHD folks like myself who are incapable of simply ignoring visual stimuli as engaging as content here.
Thanks!
I would love this feature as well
I submitted a feature request on GitHub for it. https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1153
Thanks!
It’s been implemented!
Where?
I’m not sure if it’s on iOS yet but it’s on the web app and Android.

You can do that in settings -> collapse comment threads unless it misunderstanding :)
Oh I do :) What I mean is allowing for that recursively so when you uncollapse the children, they appear but their children are collapsed and everything down recursively.
Does that make sense, I know it sounds kinda weird 🙈
Edit: ah, I shouldn’t have made this top-level comment, would you mind if I deleted it? My request is in the body of the post, this is actually just a distraction hehe
Oh, I see. That wouldn’t be too hard to implement if you want to make a GitHub issue.

The other thing I wanted to mention was it would be great if when you left the thread and came back to it, that it would refresh to all children comments collapsed (top level visible) and then no matter what you collapse or uncollapse, when you leave and come back it refreshes to the original state of top-level visible + children collapsed.
Like, I think it would be better to not preserve the state of what’s was previously manually uncollapsed or collapsed such that its a clean slate every time you navigate to the post
