Nesting

#1 · July 31, 2018, 3:37 am

Greetings.

Is there a way to nest replies? For example, person A replied to my post. But I would like to reply specifically to person A and have my comment nest (show as a branch) under their reply. Similar to how Reddit does it.

Thank you for the help 🙂

Hello @joh729

Nested comments are not planned for the moment because that would be mainly a commenting-functionality. Especially for big topics it would be impossible for users to follow a discussion when new answers are suddenly placed under a post a few pages before. If you want to respond to a certain post directly you can use the quoting and mentioning functionality to ensure that a user gets notified.

Well, it’s been 5 years since this topic. Has there been any additional thought on this? Threading is done virtually everywhere, so I don’t think it’s a readability issue any more.

I use the quote function…
