Lol, don't blame the duckquill dev, he only wrote the mastodon one, which I don't use. This is all me.

So I suppose there’s an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you’ll eventually find that you’ve re-invented a front-end, and there’s no end to it.

Yeah, I kinda chose the limits arbitrarily, but I don't expect them to be an issue anytime soon.

This setup is also more flexible. I can in the future add comments from multiple lemmy posts, as well as other completely different sites.
