Just curious, are you planing to add an option to display replies with "context" (i.e. the parent post, at least) similar to vanilla BlueSky? This is honestly one of the things keeping me from using deck.blue, since a number of Feeds use replies as a way of "boosting" a post.

not really, tweetdeck didn't do this and it makes the column layout harder to read

Fair. It seems to be a difference in the "culture" on BlueSky. TweetDeck didn't need it because users didn't really use replies the same way.

that said, if you click on any post that is part of a thread, there's a "View full thread" on top of the column that opens up a threaded reader

Yeah, it just takes a whole extra click, and then another click to close the thread, rather than just being able to scroll a column that's a Feed. It seems like a small thing, but it can end up being a lot of extra clicks, and it breaks up the scrolling.

well if you're reading a multiple post thread it makes more sense to read it in a more spacious way, the thread viewer takes up more spaces and keep loading all the replies too

Generally, you don't need the whole thread. Just the reply, the post above it, and the "top", if it's not the post above. Expanding the whole thread can be another click. (Same as on vanilla BlueSky.)

Screenshots to show what I'm talking about, scrolling the Bird Art Feed on vanilla BlueSky vs deck.blue. The reply is *intended* to make the parent post show up in the Feed. (This is fairly common for Feeds, because of the way several Feed Builder apps work.)
