overlooked fix in Lemmy v0.19.4: the Chat view works now!
something that didn't get mentioned in the announcement but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!

I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480
it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!
Woah woah ... this is legit awesome! Just tested (on lemmy.ml) and yep ... seems to be working like a charm!
Give up to matc-pub for the PR (and maybe a new core dev for lemmy too?).
I figure this makes live megathread style posts/chats more viable ... which is certainly cool!
I've mentioned this before, but an interesting possibility might be to enable selected posts to be "live chats" through a websocket like process as lemmy used to be, just for selected posts for certain windows of time, whenever a live chat dynamic is sort.
It's the sort of thing that could be scheduled and subject to admin approval or something if resources are a concern.
Otherwise ... awesome to see!
I wasn't aware, thanks for the heads up!
