🤔 What if there was a button called "Root" in Conversation view that linked back to the root conversation that the current conversation was forked from (_if any_)? 🤔

@prologic Not a bad idea. Not sure how obvious 'root' is for non-techie types, but I also don't know of a better alternative.

@prologic What if the reply does what fork does, for any replies to the top post, but not the top post itself? You know, like email does. Other than to reply to the top post (for which I use reply), I don't use reply but fork, to reply to posts underneath because it is the logical thing to do.

@quark Because “Reply” also fills in mentions. “Fork” does not. Slightly different actions IHMO ☺️

Yep updated both my Pods, handy addition. I use to just follow the hashtags back to the original convo but this Root button should be much more intuitive to people.

The only thing I'd add, is does the button need to show if the there isn't a root conversation to go back to? Like this current conversation obviously hasn't been forked yet, so the button just essentially reloads the page. If it's easy enough to add in context to the code to hide it maybe when it's an unforked convo? 🤔
