My main gripe with inbox management: where's the context? - eviltoast

Most Lemmy UIs seem to have an inbox that works a bit like this:

Without context, I don’t really understand what’s happening. A link to the parent comment is usually available, but it takes me out of my inbox.

Here’s how I approached it in Lemminator:

All context is right there, and I can work through my unreads one by one. A conventional compact inbox view is also still available:

Would this work for you? Do you prefer the classic inbox?

    this is how kbin does it, i think

    i must admit, i can often guess what the context is of a message, and if i reply i usually open the whole thread anyways

    what would be really useful however, is something like this for dms. currently the best way is to show read, then go to the messages tab so you’re not swamped. a threaded view of that would be great
