The “threads” link in the top nav lets you see your comments and the replies to them, without going through your comments in your profile (if that’s how you have been doing it).

I use this website https://excuse-seven.vercel.app/

You don't need to click anything. After the latest 500 articles have loaded, the first order comments will load.

You can mute words.

I watch the #hackernews-rss and #hn-firehose channels on the hackint IRC network, load up interesting posts that I see for reading/commenting/voting.
