No way to find something I just commented on

Body

The challenge: comment on some random issue here on GitHub. Some issue not in any repository related to you, nor an issue you created.

OK, now the next day try to somehow find the issue. Yes, assume all you know is you commented on an issue, but you forgot what repository etc.

Only way to find it: check your browser history. OK, found it.

Now the next day try the same experiment, but via the GitHub app.

Too bad, now there is no way to find it, until someone replies to it and you get notified, or one day Google indexes it and you can search for it with "site:github.com myname".

Yes, if this were Facebook the Activity Log would have it.
No, https://github.com/settings/security-log does not have it.
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/showing-an-overview-of-your-activity-on-your-profile not there either.

Holy smokes I think I found it.
It's there on the left side panel of the GitHub homepage,

Under "Recent activity"

[jidanni]

In the app "recent activity" is called "recent".

Anyway it's just those several lines, and after an item falls off the back, tough luck finding it ever again. Same no matter cell phone or desktop.
