I want to propose a “load more”-indicator when expanding the “in-reply-to”-section as well as the “answers”-section.

I don’t understand this request. Could you include a mockup please?

He means that right now in-reply-to expansion at the top is capped at the two most recent replies, it doesn’t show the entire in-reply-to chain which could be (potentially) hundreds of posts in extreme cases.

I am not sure reply expansion is capped at the moment, though, if you expand replies on a post with 100+ replies (not sure I’ve ever seen this happen in the real world) it would expand them all.

An expansion button could just load one item more per click.
