Affected version

v3.1.5+300003154

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Go to the "Feed" tab.
2. Find a tweet that only contains an image or a video, and no text whatsoever.
3. Try to check the replies or open the tweets by clicking on it.

Expected behavior

Currently the Feed doesn't display the Replies icon on tweets, but you can still check them by clicking anywhere on the tweet's text.
Tweets that consist of a single video, image/s should be able to be opened and see the replies as well.

Actual behavior

Since the tweets don't contain any text and there's no dedicated button to open it and see the replies, context, or full thread, they can't be accessed.

Do you have a concrete recent example of such a tweet?
I would like to make tests with it to help me do the fix.

I can replicate this by adding a single account to a group since tweets there also suffer from the same behavior.
Adding @origins_audio which are all videos with no text
or @PhoneWallpapers that posts only images, to a group and then checking that group.

Ok I can test it now, thank you.
There is indeed no place to touch to open the tweet thread itself.
I'm wondering what would be the best way to handle it.
Should a blank line be added on top of each video or image so that by touching this space above, it would open the tweet thread?
Any other suggestion?

[Oleepre]

When navigating a profile, tweets display a "Replies" counter and clicking it opens thread.
So either a button in the same position or a blank line Below the video so it works the same way in profiles, the feed and group.
Alternatively an option to open the thread when tapping the three dots on the top right of each tweet.

The reply counter would be perfect but unfortunately since the recent changes by Twitter, I had to use another kind of request for the feed, a legacy request.
That request does not return the reply count in the response, at least currently.
That's why there is no reply counter visible.
nitter has the same problem by the way.
I think that the three dots solution is good, because it would be an option available for all tweets, with or without text. This would be a consistent UI behavior.
Or maybe make the reply counter appear but without any count. That way we could avoid one additional tap (on the three dots) to open the thread.

[j-fbriere]

I have added a reply counter without any count for all the tweets in feeds.
Can you install and test the latest ci build and tell me if it fits you need?

It seems to work as intended, and it perfectly solves the issue. Thank you.

Version 3.1.6 fixes the issue.
