how to build a comment tree from the lemmy API? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

12 comments fedilink hide all child comments

i have requests to fetch comment and post data, but i'm struggling to work out how to build a tree from the responses? do i fetch comments with arg parent_id to get a comment's children, and do so recursively for those comments returned that themselves have comments?

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

Yes, I still end up with orphaned comments that have no parent in the results regardless of the sort method

Can you share the reproducible requests/URLs?
