UX Suggestion: Comment Icon is Visible on Posts with Disabled Comments

Hi Shahjahan Jewel ,

Hope you are having a great week.

I am using the feature that allows admins to disable comments on specific posts. This is fantastic for our strategy of publishing official "read-only" articles inside the community while directing the discussion to other relevant spaces.

I've noticed a small UX (User Experience) inconsistency that I wanted to bring to your attention.

The issue:

When I disable the comments on a post, the comment icon (the speech bubble icon 💬 with a "0" next to it) is still visible on the post preview in the main feed or in the space's post list.

The message stating that "Comments are closed" only appears after a user clicks and opens the post itself. The presence of the comment icon in the feed view can be slightly misleading, as it suggests that commenting is possible.

My Suggestion:

For a future update, it would be a great UX improvement if the comment icon and its count were completely hidden from the feed/list view for any post that has its comments disabled. This would provide a clearer visual cue to the user, indicating that a post is "read-only" right from the feed, without needing to click on it first.

Is the current behavior intended, or is this something you might consider refining in the future?

Thank you for creating such a powerful tool and for your consideration.
