I activated this beta feature at wiki.pt, but apparently not only it shows a message saying it not available in my talk page (though it still shows the "reply" link/button normally), but it rendered it extremely slow. I've stopped trying it, consequently.
Topic on Talk:Talk pages project/Flow
I'm sorry the tool doesn't seem to be working as expected for you, @DarwIn – thank you for letting us know as much.
...it shows a message saying it not available in my talk page (though it still shows the "reply" link/button normally)
Just to be sure: can you confirm this is the page where you experienced the above?
If so, then I too am seeing the following dialog when I click a [ reply ] link on that page: The "reply" link cannot be used to reply to this comment. To reply, please use the full page editor by clicking "Edit".
I suspect one of the reasons given on the Why can't I reply to this comment?#The "reply" link cannot be used to reply to this comment explains this behavior. We will look more closely next week to know exactly what's causing this.
...it rendered it extremely slow.
This is unexpected. Are you able to share a rough estimate of how long "slow" might have been in this case?
Hey! I missed your replies for some time - sorry, this has been a complicated month. :P
Yes, this is the page.
Also, is the slowness consistent (all pages always, or a particular page always), or intermittent?
Replying doesn't work on your talk page because of unclosed tags in the template at the top (which are also causing the text on the entire page to be light grey – I'm not sure if that is intentional).
The page is definitely slower to load with the reply tool enabled. For me, it takes about 2.5s without and about 4s with (testing while logged out, using the dtenable=1 parameter).
It's not intentional, I'll try to clean it up, as well as some of the stuff which is currently cluttering it
Once or twice was Reply tool very slow for me too.
We're planning to work on the slow loading in T267404.
Thank you very much for your replies, please tell if there is some improvement. Every day that passes I hate more the old talk system, and definitely would like to migrate to this one, if possible.

@DarwIn, the work @Matma Rex mentioned above is now complete. This means, you should see some improvements in how quickly pages where the Reply Tool is accessible load. If you have a chance to test this out, we'd be curious to know if you notice any changes.
