Hey Matt,

Maybe the Journal plugin would be something suitable? We are currently using it in our forum for grow diaries where non-authors can only leave indented comments while the “main feed” is for the topic author only.

You can see it in action here in one of our report subcategory: [KANNABIA SPRING GROW '23 - Forum | Cannabisanbauen.net](https://forum.cannabisanbauen.net/c/growreports/kannabia-spring-grow/117)
