[Resolved] Is this a limitation of Lemmy, or of the app?
[Resolved] Is this a limitation of Lemmy, or of the app?
That's a 30 comment thread. The reply button disappears around 20ish comments. I'm curious if the app can even do anything to make things like this readable.
Edit: Issue resolved. Download new update of Connect, version 173
Everyone is saying the app, but that might only be half true. IIRC, reddit solves this by not serving content deeper than so many levels. At a certain point you have to click through to view deeper threads of the conversation. So a solution is baked into reddit. I'm not certain that's the case with Lemmy.
Some apps might work around this better than others, though, so in this regard it is indeed the app.
That's what I was thinking. Reddit has that continue button, or whatever it's labeled as. I wonder if it's possible to be able to just scroll right or something for Lemmy.
That's def the app

My dreams of a federated Tumblr are beginning to blossom.
Definitely the app. Lemmy is just telling your app what the chain of comments are and its up to your app to display them however it likes
How do the other apps handle this? I think I can add in handling for this easily enough, I just haven't seen it before.
That's pretty much why I brought it up, it doesn't seem to come up often. But if Lemmy grows it will. Better to see the edge cases now before they become common.
Sync has the same issue. Lemmy supports up to 99 nested comments but the apps can't display it.
Can you kink the comment? I want to test my app
Unfortunately I can't. I guess it ballooned into a 50 comment back and forth and was deleted.
Sync didn't used to so this for Reddit. It would have a continue button and it would shift the comment chain down. On Lemmy though it does this exact thing
Eternity for lemmy doesn't do this
Voyager
Jerboa doesn't do this
