I really dig this electrical wiring/network representation with the cute corners and the fact it links the avatars, really nice

I get that itâs an early version and you probably already thought of it, but just in case, it would be great if the data-user-id attribute were added to each post.
Other data- attributes are also missing, which makes me think you are well-aware of this.
I use custom CSS to target my posts (on meta), and I canât do it in the nested view

Is it possible for the preference of Top/New/Old to be saved the next time one enters the topic?
As a ex-Redditor this nested way is familiar for me lol

My largest community often ends up with people responding to the wrong person because the lack of threading confuses them, confusing the discourse, and I believe threading would improve this situation. Glad to see the possibility of this feature coming.

I just had to switch to flat mode to read your post.
For me it wasnât intuitive to find it.

It might be that itâs hard to find for high-volume posts, but my site has basically no high-volume posts, to a first approximation. Itâs generally lower-volume, but often people donât select and hit âquoteâ to make it clear to whom they are responding, and then confusion ensues.
While this mega-thread may be a stress test of the experience, it doesnât say much about how useful this feature as it stands today would be on a site like mine where the conversations are more technical, where it would reduce the reliance on people selecting and quoting context to clarify the responses.

Ditto. Who knows which thread nested chunk itâs in? I guess thatâs a downside of this system.

The way live journal type sites handle it is to give all replies a link to the parent comment, so itâs clear coming from a notification or flat view whatâs a top level comment and whatâs not. Flat view here looks like itâs handling replies similar to regular topic view right now, but I think especially coming from a notification in nested threads, a parent link or something like how quote posts are handled would be really helpful.

Currently, the nested display methods on Chinaâs Xiaohongshu and Douyin prioritize first-level comments, with third and fourth-level comments all shown as second-level comments. Compared to infinite nesting, I believe this approach may be easier to read.

Does clicking reply make it display as nested? Let me try replying.
I generally prefer topic splitting to megathreading, but where megathreads are inevitable this nested view might be useful.
A few things Iâd wish for to make it easier to collapse & scan a megathread:
- A one-click collapse all option
- Single posts also collapse
- Collapsed sections to include the first few words of the âleadâ post. (Maybe an icon
if no text present)
