[Resolved] Is this a limitation of Lemmy, or of the app? (lemm.ee)

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

Did you just say meow power?

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

My dreams of a federated Tumblr are beginning to blossom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

I'm going to try a small modification in the beta tonight, please let me know your thoughts. The comment actions will now always span the full width and instead of tons of comment lines it will be a bit cleaner.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How would I grab the beta?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

There should be a join link on the store listing page

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Alright, so I'm on the beta. Unfortunately switching to it removed that giant comment chain from my accounts replys. So I can't test it.

If anyone has any big comment chains I'm happy to visit it for testing.

Hopefully you can see the chain from that. Here a picture while using the beta

Thanks for the link! This should now be fixed on ver 173.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Very nice, it works perfectly. Thank you :)

Can you kink the comment? I want to test my app

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately I can't. I guess it ballooned into a 50 comment back and forth and was deleted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Sync has the same issue. Lemmy supports up to 99 nested comments but the apps can't display it.

Eternity for lemmy doesn't do this

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Jerboa doesn't do this
