As a two week user, this is my experience. There is also no way to collapse comments... Yet. Someone has wonderfully coded it and shared with the devs but it has yet to be pushed to the main branch yet.
With the huge influx of users this past month they are in triage mode. Just please be patient with the product, Reddit was new at one point too!
Kbin noob here - Is it the intended experience to take 2 clicks to open an image? (one to open the thread, then another to open the image) (kbin.social)
Bonus question: How do you collapse comments? Some threads are busy and hard to navigate without this.
