This was a lovely exchange comrades

Actually I’ve just taken a look and found the feature that you are talking about! I totally misunderstood, I thought you meant the comments under a post which is why I was confused. There already is a view of all comments on one pile, and those don’t seem to be threaded… which to me is madness. I don’t really see the added value of that view but I totally agree that, given that is exists, it should be threaded.

Maybe we don’t mean the same thing. Comments on Lemmy are indented and under their parent comments, just like on Reddit, and you can follow the conversation that way. That’s what I mean by threading.

But comments are already threaded… the only change here that I can see would be to throw all the comments onto one pile instead of splitting them out by post.

I don’t really see the benefit. Comments are always in the context of the post, remove that context and the comments will be hard to follow.
