What is the maximum "reply depth" of Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

How many times can replies be nested (as in I post a comment, someone replies to that comment, then another replies to that comment, and so on)?

Is anybody keeping count anymore?

Depth - 41.

Jerboa's still solid (although it is nearing its limit).

Connect only displays rainbow lines now, oof.

I wish someone replicated how Relay did it. After like 10-20 comments, it made the next comment a top level one when we clicked on 'show more'. This meant that the depth never went below 10-20 for anything and nothing got squished up.

The usable comment area is getting smaller and smaller on Jerboa though. Surely we'll hit some UI issue soon

Probably yeah.

I already raised a UX improvement request with the developer of Connect.

If something similar happens with Jerboa then that can be brought to their notice too.

This is a good experiment.

It really is. I can only hope other people are as brave as we are to get this deep into the comment section.
