Is it possible to configure Discourse communities such that replies that fork a conversation only show once and then not the second time at the bottom of a thread as what I would call a stray comment? The best example I know of to demonstrate what I call a better format is Facebook Groups. When a single conversation becomes forked you only see replies under the comment\reply where they were added. In this example from a Facebook group you see the main topic that has 5 hidden comments and you can see where someone forked the conversation and there are 3 Replies in that fork. You will only see those 3 replies there where as it appears the default method with Discourse is to put a second stray copy in the bottom of the main thread. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/3/7354894d710fe54a7f5184db2898561db150113b.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-showing-forked-replies-as-strays-at-the-bottom/110444)._
