Very nice indeed!

Haven given it some more thought, I think the issue is, that what I was looking for was specifically “take me to the next top level comment”. Not “collapse current thread”. In actual effect, it doesn’t make much difference. Nevertheless, it is like taking a detour to get to the destination.

Perhaps both (collapse thread; jump to next top-level comment) could be swipeable options?

Maybe a floating button, visible when viewing posts with comments, could be seen when “jump to next” hasn’t been chosen as a swipe-option? That way, the option will be clearly in place out of the box, but won’t be an eyesore for those who have set up a swipe for the action?

Do you mean water lock?

It’s almost as convenient now, albeit behind a different button: press once on the side button to bring up control center. You should find water lock there.

What’s more annoying, I’ve found, is that end workout now requires two button presses. End and yes, really do end workout. 🤦‍♂️

Syncing over iCloud drive works well (Obsidian, iOS).

Great! 🙏

Incidentally, I opened Avelon fullscreen on iPad today -- wonderful!

The community link in the comment I'm replying to now is broken in Avelon, but does work in, say, Voyager. So something about the surrounding (non-linking) exclamation marks or parenthesis breaks the community-link identification mechanism. Ping @evgiz@lemm.ee

Still worked. (There were some other special characters as well, in the linked comment. Like parenthesis.) Could that be it? Otherwise, it is something else! Testing... !gentoo@lemm.ee (Obviously, doesn't matter which community is linked. But sticking to it!) :-) This is the last thing I'm trying.

The question you ask in the title is a more general one that you ask in the title.

Yes, Gentoo is a good choice.

No, it is not worth compiling every package. This should not be the main reason you choose Gentoo.

Admittedly, I started with Gentoo for the same reason (per-package compilation), hoping for performance gains. However, I stayed because of the excellent documentation, the great user community; the rolling versions; the customizability and control I have over my system, the choices I need to make when installing, and keep making as the install is continuously set up over the years.

I’ve tried quite a few distros over the (+20) years of Linux-use. I keep choosing Gentoo.

Those four actions (upvote, downvote, reply and save) for sure. Other possibilities might be collapse commentSensible defaults and possibility to customize would be ideal.

As to which those sensible defaults should be, setting it to Apollo's might be a good start. This post has a screenshot at the top which shows which those was, I think.

Voyager's settings, soon to be customizable it seems, can be gleaned here, I believe.

Had to scroll too far to find Gentoo.

Oh no! What an ordeal.

Can relate to the sensation of tasting madness while others are watching you swatting your head like it is the fly itself.

Had a fly so deep in it couldn’t be seen. But I could feel it fluttering. Would not recommend.
