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

I get that it’s 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 can’t do it in the nested view :slight_smile:

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. :crossed_fingers:

I just had to switch to flat mode to read your post.

For me it wasn’t intuitive to find it.

It might be that it’s hard to find for high-volume posts, but my site has basically no high-volume posts, to a first approximation. It’s generally lower-volume, but often people don’t select and hit “quote” 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 doesn’t 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 it’s in? I guess that’s 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 it’s clear coming from a notification or flat view what’s a top level comment and what’s not. Flat view here looks like it’s 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.
