Version 1.22.0 was just released with support for viewing deeply nested comments.

This feature is SUPER cool and something I've wanted to do for a while (despite not making a Github issue for it). I can only take credit for the code though, because the design is inspired from Apollo.

There's two parts to the experience to viewing deeply nested comments:

Load parent comments

Example

When you're viewing a link to a single comment and the comment is nested greater than three layers, you will see a "Load parent comments" button:

When you tap it, you can continue to load parent comments, all the way back to the root comment. And what's cool about it is since you're viewing a single comment chain, we can take advantage of that and forgo the indentation:

Even though the parent chain isn't indented for a given comment, the comments still have their unique nesting colors!

Continue Thread

When comments get too nested for a single page, you'll see a "Continue Thread" button:

Tapping that brings you to a new page to continue viewing the thread (notice page title is "Thread" and initial comment is highlighted):

You can keep doing this over and over again for very deeply nested conversations, to the bitter end!

Wisconsin here, we've only had one cold spell so far right before Halloween.

Is there a limit or can it go forever?

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think Lemmy hardcodes at 100 replies max

[-] randomaccount43543@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If im counting right this is the 26th nested level. 74 more to go! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

How cold is it over thereΒΏ? Being from a tropical country I am very curious as to how life is in a cold place

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Well, we had a hard freeze right before Halloween. That day it struggled to get above freezing. Today high of 50f, low of 37f, not as bad.

Being in Midwest USA, there's no ocean to regular temps so in the Winter it gets super cold.

Just means you got to bundle up! :)

[-] Sentau@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Damn. That is ridiculously cold and you just dismiss it as not badπŸ˜‚. By bundle up I am guessing you mean slip into layers and layers of thermal clothing and blankets.

Also do you like to use Fahrenheit or has it become like a bad habit you can't get rid ofΒΏ?

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah just more layers! I also bike in the winter to get around (shout out !wintercycling@lemmy.world)

And yes I’m a degF weirdo but I blame my country πŸ˜…

There's also a good amount of snow. It'll build up too.

I know its a good storm I leave in the morning and I have to push snow out of the way with the door lol

[-] Sentau@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I am very jealous. I have yet to experience snow in my life

But that’s pretty rare

[-] Sentau@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Better that it's rare. Clearing that snow will be a hassle

Took this of Fall foliage the other day. Just past peak! https://www.travelwisconsin.com/fall-color-report

[-] tillimarleen@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I have a problem with expanding comments recently. If I am on the bottom of a comments page and I expand comments there, they expand up and not down. So I have to scroll up again, to find the beginning of that thread.

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can you provide a link to reproduce next time you see this? Thanks

Edit: Oh, I think I see what you mean. If you are scrolled to the bottom of the page it stays pinned to the bottom of the page. I will have to investigate further!

[-] tillimarleen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I think this is a good example:

https://feddit.ch/post/2156843

when I open the last comment thread, the comments get pushed up, and I have to scroll a long time to get back to the original comment

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Happy to have helped ;)
