Once more experimenting with likes and reposts and how they’re displayed.

A facepile on hover would be kinda cool, I guess, but this’ll have to do for now.

(#Laravel makes this so easy.)

Playing with nested comments ... from the Fediverse. https://jan.boddez.net/notes/47deb8af37

I’ll fix the avatars some other time.

Actually indented replies (i.e., lists within lists) are the clearest but don’t look great on mobile. A long reply thread will very soon run out of “horizontal space.”

So I instead collapsed the lists into one and went the “reply-lines-only” route. Way less clear when you’ve got replies branching off in all directions … but better when it comes to long threads.

Back in the day, a lot of blogs didn’t even do multi-level replies. You’d just @-mention a previous commenter and hope for the best.

Toot

(Mastodon does a fairly okay job without indenting, but mostly because it lets you select a single reply and then hides whatever’s not in that thread. Might look into it later, but I’d rather not use JS or anything.)

@janboddez

BlueSky does indentation in the Android app, and every 8 or 10 levels in you need to open one of the posts to see more of the thread.

It works better here, IMO.
