Not off my head, no. Which is why I was asking if there were any other alternatives. I don’t particularly like that solution.
Edit: Since I know the depth on a per-comment basis, maybe I could reverse it in CSS beyond a certain point and have them start going right to left? (spitballing here)
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
How about this: as you scroll past an entire comment in the chain (the bottom of the comment leaves the top of the screen) the entire comment chain is shifted to the left?
I can’t think of a solution that isn’t re-rooting in one form or another. Do you know of any app that has done it differently?

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

i’m tempted to make a stupid feature where it turns into an ace attorney fight after about 15 comments of depth.
Pee is stored in the balls. Wanna fight about it?
How could I fight with the truth? Gonna need a different argument.

Yeah thatd work, but it would probably be pretty hard to do on mobile
