Looks good!
Just for my understanding, is it not possible to disable the SwipeToReply action if there is a vertical scroll active? (I am not suggesting it as a better solution, just as an idea).

Sorry, can you elaborate if there is a vertical scroll active?

I was thinking something like:

val lazyListState = rememberLazyListState()
val swipeEnabled = !lazyListState.isScrollInProgress

But on a closer inspection, we cannot really easily access the the list state here unfortunately.

Yes.
It would introduce a strong dependency on an upper state of the hierarchy.
The provided approach seems more flexible as it can be useful for any application, not only related to the scrolling of a list.
