The app’s looking great, but I’ve got a couple of questions:

  1. What is the difference between the three options within Settings > Feed Defaults > View. There’s Threads, Microblog and Timeline options, but I can’t see what effect they have on the feed.

  2. When viewing comments, some replies are shown and nested, but others require tapping Open x replies. What determines whether a reply is shown automatically or needs a tap to open?

    What is the difference between the three options within Settings > Feed Defaults > View. There’s Threads, Microblog and Timeline options, but I can’t see what effect they have on the feed.

    That sets the default Feed View for when you’re on an Mbin account. Mbin has options to view threads (the Lemmy side of the fediverse), microblogs (the Mastodon side of the fediverse), and timeline (combined threads and microblogs), whereas Lemmy and PieFed don’t have microblog support, only threads.

    When viewing comments, some replies are shown and nested, but others require tapping Open x replies. What determines whether a reply is shown automatically or needs a tap to open?

    That’s totally dependent on the API’s response. If Interstellar sees the API returned a comment that has X listed as the number of children, but the API didn’t actually return those children, then it displays the Open X replies button.
