Gotcha, thanks. I had a browse over the GIT issues too for Lemmy. I didn't stumble into the right search terms to find much about this though.

That's just replies to my comments though, isn't it? What I am after is to see just the new posts to a thread, which mostly are from other people.

Depends on how you access Lemmy.

D'oh! I should have specified, sorry!

I use the web interface through https://sh.itjust.works/.

I'm new to Lemmy, days not weeks. Liking it so far and I'm trying to contribute in a positive way to the instance.

I have one usability issue, trying to figure out which replies in a post are new since I last read it. I see the number like (4 New) telling me how many, but not which.

Sorting by "New" hardly helps because of the threaded display. Threading is a good thing, IMO, since it preserves the flow of the conversation. But new replies to older replies get buried with a "New" sort. When the post has only a few replies total, I can keep up simply by re-scanning the whole thread. On more popular posts that becomes infeasible.

Please don't beat me up too bad if I'm missing an obvious thing! I saw the user settings, "Show Read Posts", but that seems to be post level, not reply level.

Editing because I am an idiot: I use the web interface through https://sh.itjust.works/.

The 2025 SJW Update: Donations, costs and other points in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Donated.

I almost didn't see this post or even this whole group. I found it in order to ask an unrelated question. Otherwise, I may never have known about the donation option.

All things considered, the budget feels very reasonable for running something like this. The donation seemed even cheaper since I was paying in $USD and it looks like it's currently around 1:1.37 to $CAD.

We're going for a world record! in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Lauren Haney, "Right Hand of Amon" etc? Good? (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Has anyone read any of her Lieutenant Bak series? "Right Hand of Amon", "A Face Turned Backwards", and those?

She sets them circa 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. I am interested in this era and culture, so I am predisposed to trying these out, but if people think they are terrible I'll probably find another series haha.
