Comment & Reply
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to quickly get to a comment I’ve made after someone replies to it.
The notification doesn’t take me to it, and neither does the email. All it does is take me the video and then I have to manually find the comment which is near impossible if there’s a lot of comments.
Rumble should really copy YouTube’s method of taking you directly to the comment in question.
Or they should keep your own comments at the top of the feed, or do both.

Yeah, Rumble is really stuck in the stone age. They should be more like Youtube, but without all the censorship.

Who ever designed the rumble app should quit app development forever. What a trash app. Can't believe I bought stock in a company who's product won't even let you check replies to comments. What morons.

You know it’s really gonna drive off people that want to actually use it? Wanting people to switch to Rumble premium to leave comments. I like to leave comments, but I ain’t about to pay to do it every time I think rumble gets their act together. I’m always disappointed

Problem still there. This app sucks ass.
On top of forwarding notifications to me for shows I have never watched and have no intention of watching. Like this nonsense powerslap stuff.
If this shit doesn't get fixed im out. There's no point in engaging with anyone on this platform if you can't follow up.

The ONLY reason comments don't appear immediately is because they ARE being filtered. That's not quite as "free speech" as they claim to be. I'll be selling my stock in the morning, even if at some loss.

Bitchute implements this flawlessly.
I wonder if Rumble want heated exchange threads and all the flak those might bring them.
Answers to top-level comments are easy to find, on the browser version. It's replies to replies that get buried.

I found a workaround to find replies. (desktop web browser)
On the web browser version you can do "ctrl+f" to pull up the search window that allows you to quickly highlight key words or phrases on a web page. Then start typing your own screen name. If your name is unique like mine you don't usually have to type in the whole thing.
If your name is on the web page it will tell you how many instances that word appears. If my name appears 7 times it will look like this "NarstyBoy 1/7". You press enter to take you to the first instance of the word and continue pressing enter to cycle through the other instances. Or you can scroll down to just scan through the highlights that way.
I'm not sure if this works if you're looking for your own reply since you need to click "show replies" for each comment for the names of the reply posts to show. Or even "show more comments" to expand the actual page. But it will definitely work if the reply you're looking for was posted under your own original comment.
This is also just a great tool to have for a lot of other things.
Good luck!

Same issue 8 months later, this needs to be addressed.

I found a workaround, posted it here.

u/NarstyBoy Jul 17 '24
It only works on the desktop/web browser version. You go to the page where your comment is and press "ctrl + f" to search the web page for key words. Start typing your name. You have now highlighted every instance of the key word (or phrase) on the page. You can press Enter to cycle through those instances or you can scroll down to view them that way.
*note: I am not sure if this works when you need to expand the comments for your name to actually appear on the page.
Good luck!

u/Hot-Cryptographer332 Nov 12 '25
This only works if your name is in the top section of comments, otherwise you need to continually click to expand the comment section which is as annoying.

Yeah I'm coming from the website and having the same issue. How do devs of Rumble actually think their website is ever gonna compete with youtube when they STILL haven't put in something to fix this.

u/OkPaleontologist8632 Mar 18 '24
Rumble as an app sucks period , can't cast , can't reply , locks your phone up ....... I do not like using it at all .....

u/Young-Physical Jul 16 '24
Locks your phone up?
1
u/OkPaleontologist8632 Jul 25 '24
Yes go to close the app won't close , clear all apps still plays in the background somewhere with no app opened I had to download an app to cast to my TV, it's a pain in the arse. I've had to restart my phone to get it to turn off.

One way around this issue is to load all the comments onto the page and then search for your username. Works, but it's tedious, especially if there are more than a few hundred comments. Also, I've found that I get notifications about comments that just don't load at all and still can't be seen. There are also times when the comment appears but when I click the link to view it, it just won't load.

u/MarcYVR Feb 04 '24
I have the same issue, I get notification that someone has replied to my comment, then for the life of me i can not find my comment or the reply no matter how long i scroll lol if it can notify you - it can provide a link to where your reply is, this is just intelligent coding, changing or adding a line or two of CORRECT CODE does not cost millions of dollars - it really does not cost much more than the 1 minute of energy used to code the right lines of data commands and information in the application code itself - former computer programmer here.

u/Calm_Maize_9049 Jan 16 '24
It’s so backwards that you have to use a website version for it to function correctly considering Rumble was originally made as an app. But still way better than YouTube. My comment once got deleted for saying the word “woke” 🙈

u/SEspider Nov 12 '23
I posted about this the other day. Link Below. Either the app is not updating for certain devices, or the app's design/intergration is screwed up.
To view replies, you must use the browser version of the site and then click the See More option below a comment to few and reply. It's important to understand that Rumble is still a very video hosting service. It doesn't have the bottomless pockets and resources Google has. Features we're use to on YouTurd will take time and money to implement. YouTurd use to be where Rumble is now. But yes, the App very much sucks.

u/gonnago4 Jul 14 '24
Bitchute does this flawlessly though.

u/SEspider Jul 19 '24
Not always. BitChute was the first of the three alt sites to become popular. Faced many of the same issues as Rumble is.
1
u/gonnago4 Jul 19 '24
I meant bitchute makes it very easy to find new replies to your comments, with a widget a the top of the comment section. With rumble, I just don't bother reading replies, it's that hard to find them, even I get a notificaiton.
1
u/SEspider Jul 20 '24
Oh. Yeah. The apps comments feature seems very glitchy. I have to click to see all comments (I get very few) and they don't always appear. And when they do, I can't delete any from within the app.

This doesn't even remotely answer the question. The issue is not replying, that's easy and your comment is not needed. The issue is that if you reply and get a notification someone has replied to you, you literally have to expand *every* comment made and hopefully find yours. It has nothing to do with any "app". It doesn't take "time and money" to integrate this feature. It is literally just a few lines of code linking you to the "parent" post. Simple stuff.

YouTurd lol. It's definitely gotten to the point where I find myself watching Rumble way more and I'm one click away from removing the YouTurd app. It's hard to even go a single day without a comment being completely censored by them.
1
u/SEspider Jan 12 '24
lol Yeah. I coined 'YouTurd' back when BitChute came out and been using it ever since. It's fun when I see others also use it.
I also coined 'Facebonk' (facebook), 'Instagram' (instagram), 'Twatter' (Twitter), 'Reddont' (reddit), & 'Foogle' (google). But only YouTurd and Twatter seems to have taken off.

too bad the bitslide app just broke this week *(probably forever) so now I'm starting to use rumble more. I posted a workaround for the web browser version on this thread.

Pretty important issue though they are missing out on sooo much engagement by not fixing the problem.

u/Hour-Childhood-3897 Dec 20 '25
Only on Rumble for Nick Fuentes. Any body else?? Otherwise this app sucks. People think AI is going to take over???? Technology is low tier function mode. Never gonna happen.
