I think it's best to move upvote/downvote buttons for the comments to the bottom of each comment as regular Lemmy UI, since there is a large amount of dead space on the left side of the comments being taken up by the vote buttons that it's difficult to read past a few level of nesting.
Plus, regular Lemmy UI layout also shows the exact number of upvotes and downvotes for each comment at a quick glance, which I think is an important aspect of Lemmy.
Compare the space utilization of this:
To this:
This sounds good as the bottom makes more sense as if you are reading a longer comment you want to upvote at the end, not have to scroll back to the top to upvote
On some apps like Connect, you can customize swipe actions. I like being able to swipe a comment to upvote, downvote, and hide.
