Bug: The comment button under each post is inconsistent. (lemmy.world)

Tricky to explain exactly. Sometimes the comment button goes straight to adding a new comment rather than the post's comments. To reach the comments I have to press it again. But because it's not consistent sometimes I have to press it several times to reach the actual comments.

I have this issue and I believe it is because the icons are very close together on the screen, and it is easy to accidentally press the wrong one.

Wait, are there two icons? All I see is an icon and a number.

Actually I think you are right, I just tried again and noticed clicking anywhere but not on the icon has a different action compared to clicking on the icon. So I was slightly wrong but it does seem that because the icon is small means it is easy to actually 'miss' it and instead end up with the wrong action.

This messes me up every single time. I click the comment icon to read the comments. But if you look in the post settings (pic below), button 1 is defaulted to "comment," so I think it is intended to be a "leave a comment" button, as you stated. Which I do agree is counterintuitive. You have to click the body of the post to read comments. I'd prefer clicking the button to take me to the comments section and then have a "leave a comment" button if I decide to do so.

From the settings:

Same, I can no longer even read comments now! I'll try logging out. Edit nope connect is broken for me. Edit edit lol. It works if I click the icon, and then the text of the post.

The comment button is to leave a comment. To read comments on a post, you have to click the body of the post. The comment button works as intended; it's just counterintuitive and not what you expect it's going to do.
