Those also sound like good suggestions to me; glad to see/hear that some have already been implemented.
Another suggestion: Maybe the top part that shows the sequence name and the left and right arrows should appear on all posts that are part of sequences, even if you found your way to the post in some way other than via the sequence?
Currently, with Lukas Gloor’s anti-realism posts and Luisa Rodriguez’s nuclear posts, if I click the link to the posts from within the sequence, I see that top part. But if I get to the post some other way (via tags, their user profile, a search, another link, etc.), I don’t. This means there’s no way for someone who gets to those posts in most ways to even know they’re part of a sequence.
A downside of this suggestion is that the sequences in questions weren’t made by the users themselves, so it’s possible that the users don’t want that top part to appear. In these two cases, I’d guess the users would be happy with that, but it’d be possible for someone to make a sequence whose scope, framing, order, etc. seems weird to the authors involved (e.g., if the person strings together posts from different authors).
Another complication is that, in some cases, a post might be added to more than one sequence. Maybe if that happens, the mods should get a notification and should use their best judgement as to which sequence is used for the top part by default?
(I’m not sure if mods will look at this comment by default—maybe I should message one?)
Thanks for doing this!
