I just wanted to say that with the last two/three updates Memmy has become even better! The user experience is great and my Lemmy journey is a lot more pleasant with this app
I guess people not knowing about swiping the comments is why they added the buttons. Apollo and every reddit app I ever regularly used had swiping actions for comments and replys so it's natural to me. I'm guessing most apps have some sort of tutorial for teaching this when first starting to use the app. I kinda prefer less space being used with swipe only UI.
