anchor links to comments don't work properly
On desktop, I was trying to figure out how to get from the notifications list ( https://kbin.social/settings/notifications ) to the specific comment.
It just links to the top of the thread and I have to ctrl-F for my handle. Which doesn't work easily on long threads or nested comments.
The link in notifications includes an anchor, for example #entry-comment-612642.
If I find the comment and click more > share URL, I get the same anchor link, which also just links to the top of the thread, example: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/152720/r-BotDefense-is-shutting-down-I-hope-Reddit-likes-spam-and#entry-comment-612642
If I click more > copy URL to fediverse, I get a correctly working link on the commenter's home instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/768070
~~If there is some problem generating links to comments by people outside kbin, I would suggest that notifications should link back to my comment that they are responding to. For the above example, more > share URL for my comment is https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/152720/-/comment/659758, which works properly. At least it is a little closer to the target.~~ Edited out because this does not help actually. And edited the title to remove reference to this.
I may be misunderstanding this, but it sounds like you're running up against this bug where notifications don't work if the comment they reference is not on the first page of comments.
Ah yes, adding
?p=2to the link does work:however this issue is not limited to notifications, because if you use "share url" from the comment itself, it will give you the link without the pagination.
