- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoHow does that differ from the "Comments" link in the user profile page?
- davidivadavid 5y agoIt's 1 click vs. 2 clicks away.
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoIt doesn't. It's the same exact page.
- spyke112 5y agoMind blowing! I had not spotted that feature yet.
- sgc 5y agoHonestly it's hilarious how much attention this is getting. It's a link that took me several years to find. It's the second link on the page. And a bunch of IT pros are delighted to find it! Ux is hard. Personally, I had clicked the "comments" link and it was not what I was looking for, and then it took a moment of curiosity several years later to try again. I think the moral of the story is, if you want something to be discoverable, don't hide it behind a less obvious naming choice when the more obvious looking choice is used nearby. But who knows.
- seanw444 5y agoOh sweet. Thank you. Unfortunately that's not a thing in my mobile client of choice, but handy for when I'm on desktop.

- seanw444 5y agoI use Glider (from F-Droid) on mobile for browsing HN. On desktop, I use the normal website. Thus, the link is useful for me when on desktop. It's not a thing in Glider.
