The day I saw confirmation 3rd party apps were closing I was done with Reddit. My two favourite subs have spawned homes here so I'm more than happy here trying to learn the ropes.

I really like it here so far. It doesn't seem too difficult to learn, but I'm just getting started. Checking out the Jerboa app, but I can't figure out how to reply to people replying to me from my inbox. I came to the web version to reply, lol.

My experimentation suggests that your inbox is kind of read-only. The only way to reply or vote is to go back to the top level thread.

I have some concerns over that. Unless there is something I'm missing, there is no reason for your inbox to be anything other than a filtered view of the communities where you've commented. As such, you should be able to do anything in your inbox that you can do anywhere else.

I could be completely out to lunch, though. My programming career ended over a decade ago and I have not done anything that resembles a formal analysis.

Jerboa is also very much in its infancy; I imagine issues like that will be fixed as development progresses
