Can we move the comment count closer to the vote count? (mander.xyz)

I think both counts (vote and comment) are important for a quick check on community interest in a post and I often rely on both to filter content. The new version now places the two counts on the opposite ends, making it difficult to glean both info in one glance. Would it be possible to have an option to put the two counts close together?

I like the replies being close to my right hand while scrolling though. Swipe gestures covers the upvotes being a little further away.

I'm not suggesting to move the reply action (or for that matter the vote action) to make them more accessible, but instead to place vote and comment information closer on the UI for easier digestion. Sorry if this wasn't clear before.

Yes but if you're moving them for easier viewing you also effect accessibility so its relevant.

I don't think moving them closer affects accessibility, as long as there is no risk of fat-fingering. This is particularly true if swipe is used for voting.
