The discussion revolves around using Discourse for website comments with threaded comments, similar to Disqus. Sujan asks if this is possible, but pfaffman states that Discourse displays replies in a flat form and is unlikely to display threaded comments. Sujan and danyalamriben express interest in this feature, but awesomerobot explains that it’s a fundamental design decision, citing a blog post from a Discourse co-founder. Meanwhile, david points out that Discourse does have a form of threading, where replies can be expanded under the original post. As an alternative, merefield suggests a plugin that might meet the desired functionality.
I am looking into using Discourse for comments on a website of mine.
Is there a way to display the comments in a threaded style, like Disqus does by default (Example: Optimized Ionic-Angular CSS Bundle for PWA :: Julien Renaux - Fullstack Software Engineer & founder | AI guru)?
(After reading through Plugin: Ask me anything or Q&A format (threaded replies) and related and similar topics, this doesn’t really seem to be supported (yet))
Discourse displays replies in flat form,though the threading is clear from the formatting. Discourse will likely never display threaded comments.
What do you mean by that?
Look above this post in the top right, you’ll see your avatar, showing that I clicked “reply” on your earlier post. You can click it to expand.
Similarly, you can see on your post above that it says “2 replies” - click that, and this post will appear underneath
Thanks, got it.
Hiding the “replies” in the direct view and triggering all these AJAX requests would be the view I am looking for 
Почему он никогда не отображает ветвящиеся комментарии?
Это фундаментальное решение, лежащее в основе дизайна Discourse. Подробнее см. в этой записи блога одного из наших соучредителей: Web Discussions: Flat by Design
