How to fix display of really long comment threads? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago by numlok@lemmy.world to c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Is there a setting that might resolve the issue attached, where really long comment threads get squished into illegibility?

Interested to see what solutions for this are proposed that don't involve re-rooting the comment tree from a lower depth. Tesseract is susceptible to this on mobile as well, and I've decreased the left padding as far as it'll go as a partial workaround.

I'm not crazy about having to re-root the comment tree like Reddit does (or at least used to do) beyond a certain depth, so hoping to hear some better suggestions I can borrow.

Setting this to minimum helped me

For the record, some clients (Voyager) use rainbow colors that allow the levels to be distinguished while taking up very little vertical space, or even no vertical space past level 10 or so (might get ambiguous since the colors loop every 7 or so but there are ways around that, such as rotating the hue 6 % evedy cycle)

Rotate your phone

That did help, thanks.
But in another note, when I rotated back after finishing the thread, it was worse than before, with no comment hierarchy visible at all. I had to refresh to get it back.

Here's the last comment in the thread I was following, just in case it's helpful.

You can try adjusting the padding size; mine is on minimum and, while it still wasn't ideal and would have gotten cut off as well if it continued, I was able to read up to the end.
