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
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!

How’s everyone else? Weekend plans?
Nesting
It is that time of year…
Wisconsin here, we’ve only had one cold spell so far right before Halloween.
I’m just going to keep talking to myself until someone else chimes in 😅
Sup?
Hi there!
Looool
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Took this of Fall foliage the other day. Just past peak! https://www.travelwisconsin.com/fall-color-report
How cold is it over there¿? Being from a tropical country I am very curious as to how life is in a cold place
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! :)
Damn. That is ridiculously cold and you just dismiss it as not bad😂. 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 of¿?
i’ve lived ‘up north’ most my life. it’s not ‘cold’ until fahrenheit and celsius agree: -40
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 😅
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
I am very jealous. I have yet to experience snow in my life
But that’s pretty rare
Ooh, wat fun!
