So i connected the WP discourse plugin with my forum but the comments below posts look pretty ugly.

Example:

Any suggestions on how to modify the CSS properly so the comments look decent would be well appreciated!

What about this?

.discourse-comments-area {
    padding-top: 15px;
}
.discourse-comments-title {
    font-size: 2em;
}
.comment {
    padding-top: 30px;
    min-height: 70px;
}
.comment-body {
    display: flex;
}
.comment-meta {
    display: flex;
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    
}
.comment-metadata {
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-top: 2px;
    color: #aaa;
    &:before {
        content: "/";
    }
}
.comment-author {
    display: flex;
    .fn {
        font-size: 1.4em;
        margin-left: 15px;
    }
}
.comment-content {    
    margin-left: 79px;
    margin-top: 30px;
    font-size: 1.15em;
    line-height: 1.5;
}

Alternative:

.discourse-comments-area {
    padding-top: 15px;
}
.discourse-comments-title {
    font-size: 2em;
}
.comment {
    padding-top: 20px;
    min-height: 70px;
}
.comment-body {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}
.comment-meta {
    display: flex;
    //position: absolute;
    align-items: center;
    width: 100%;
    
}
.comment-metadata {
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-top: 2px;
    color: #aaa;
    &:before {
        content: "/";
    }
}
.comment-author {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    .avatar {
        width: 40px;
        height: 40px;
    }
    .fn {
        font-size: 1.4em;
        margin-left: 15px;
    }
}
.comment-content {
    margin-top: 15px;
    font-size: 1.15em;
    line-height: 1.5;
}

That looks great. Thanks! I prefer the 1st example.

Just need to fix the spacing between avatar and the username, and also the stuff that comes below the comments:

Also not sure why the link to Continue Discussion is not displayed below comments.

I forgot we weren’t on Discourse in your case and my code used SCSS, not CSS, that’s why there is some stuff that didn’t work.

Here’s the compiled CSS:

.discourse-comments-area {
	 padding-top: 15px;
}
 .discourse-comments-title {
	 font-size: 2em;
}
 .comment {
	 padding-top: 30px;
	 min-height: 70px;
}
 .comment-body {
	 display: flex;
}
 .comment-meta {
	 display: flex;
	 position: absolute;
	 width: 100%;
}
 .comment-metadata {
	 margin-left: 5px;
	 margin-top: 2px;
	 color: #aaa;
}
 .comment-metadata:before {
	 content: "/";
}
 .comment-author {
	 display: flex;
}
 .comment-author .fn {
	 font-size: 1.4em;
	 margin-left: 15px;
}
 .comment-content {
	 margin-left: 79px;
	 margin-top: 30px;
	 font-size: 1.15em;
	 line-height: 1.5;
}

For the bottom avatars, you can do this:

#comments .comment-reply-title .avatar {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-top: 15px;
}

You just need to make, I guess, the two sentences above a bit bigger, but you can also do it yourself, just find the right HTML classes using your browser dev tools.

Maybe you need to check a setting in WP-Discourse?
