676 (original post) does lead to 733 (screenshot of clarification) but the latter is about the sixth reply down the list. Both links guarantee readers see the entire thread, but they would have to know that they need to scroll for additional context.
- dang 3y agoNot for me, nor apparently for wut42: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39300970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39300970. Scrolling down to see everything is what I'd expect, and had 733 shown up when I scrolled down, I wouldn't have changed the URL.
- proactivesvcs 3y agoHuh you're both right, I hadn't checked carefully enough. I guess the Mastodon threads UX needs a bit more work.
- WhyUVoteGarbage 3y agoXref to me getting partly to the bottom of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884 https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884 Starting at https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111886558855943676 https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111886558855943676 First reply is from the OP, and the visual "thread" (vertical line) on the left side is broken. Click on that reply ("The toothbrush thing has gone viral despite it being total bollocks."). Now again scroll down through posts by the OP until the "thread" on the left side breaks. Click on that last reply ("Fortinet also declined to comment to me."). Finally, the target post appears as a reply to that ("Fortigate have issued me a statement.") Navigational issue. One might ask what is the difference between the follow-ups that show up automatically and the ones that don't show up until you navigate. I don't know.
