The dropdown menu currently shows the following:

Top, Last 24h, Last 48h, Last week, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN, HN Jobs, and Bookmarks. Please add support for viewing Active threads

Thanks!

I don't think this is supported with the official HN API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API). Have you seen another app implement this or know something more about is availability?

I've been browsing HN on desktop mostly, and discovered this Chrome Extension to format the site (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modern-for-hacker-news/dabkegjlekdcmefifaolmdhnhdcplklo)

It has Active in the header and it's just a shortcut to https://news.ycombinator.com/active

Okay in that case I would think there's no way to reach if easily from the app since it uses the API instead of just visiting the website.
