As per title… You have a working new comment counter, but unless I’m blind (please show I’m blind), the actual new comments don’t get highlighted when you go into the thread.

    Ok more and more posts are showing the highlight now, but it’s not consistent. Wonder what is happening in the background? 🧐

      I’m keeping a timestamp locally of when a post is last viewed and highlighting everything newer than that timestamp. If you use multiple apps it might not be accurate but I couldn’t find a way to access this information from the API.

        Yeah I’m presently transitioning to using Connect only, and browsing through stuff that also has the red counter showing in the main view.

        Do you have a preferred feature request method or would you prefer I make a new post?

          New post would be preferred! Then it has more visibility instead of buried in a comment chain.
