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

    We should start a ridiculously long comment thread here so people can see how the various Lemmy apps out there handle and render things…

      Lol, well, I’ll keep the ball rolling with this reply.

      It took me a while to notice this behavior (on any client) because once a comment thread gets that deep, it’s usually a slap fight I wouldn’t bother reading anyway lol

              After stopping the scroll, animate to minus padding on the left (move tree to the left in its entirety).

              Or animate the margin between these comments to 0 until the end of the comments for the thread

              Or just stop at some percentage of screen estate and work with differing colors.

              Maybe you could use folds right above and below to indicate that the tree is rerooted?
