Comment chain becomes unreadable with depth

Please remove this if already reported.

Thankfully, no lemme post has more than 4 comments.
- Oh man do I have news for you...
  
  Where I can consistently find well-alive threads with lots of comments?
  
  Yeah, I dunno how new this guy is, but…
- Let's try you do that just for fun

I actually loved when I saw this a week ago. It went far enough that only a single letter was on each line.
- Netflix.
  
  Ta Dunnnn
- Was it the piped link bot loop? I saw it too.
  
  Sadly no lol. I missed that whole thing. It was two people have a long ass argument that kept going on and on.
  
  Do you have a link to that? sounds amazing
- I got it in this tread.
  
  I definitely love the look. Feels like an award for going too deep.

Huh. I thought this got fixed in Sync for Reddit.
I remember there being a button to continue a thread on a new screen when it got too deep.
- Yeah... This is a settings issue because I don't have this problem at all.
  Unfortunately, I don't know which setting off the top of my head is responsible for it though.
  
  My guess would be either padding style, comment padding, or something else in that area... Comment dividers maybe
- Apollo did that as well!
  I still miss Apollo :(

That's a feature. Statistically, comment quality is inversely proportional to it's depth.
Don't go deep diving!
(And this is /s if anyone's wondering.)

It's beautiful
- The tumblr special

You guys have colours?
- Can be changed here: Settings shortcut: Comments > Show colorful comment indents
  
  That link is magical
  
  Is there also a way to alter the swipe actions on comments and posts?
  The default are "upvote" "save" and "reply", but by definition you barely ever want to save, and the most used action (downvoting) is absent
  
  Since you're smart: how can I make tapping a comment collapse the comment itself, not only its children
  
  Thank you, kind stranger.

You have dug too deep!
- Watch out for Balrogs!

Oh man, this reminds me of the early days on reddit
- Isn't that how their app still is?
  
  I thought there was an update that stopped this from happening, but early on there were so many threads about this. I've since moved to ios so I haven't used sync in a long time, just enjoy following certain developers

I'm curious what post this is from lol
- Unsurprisingly from a politics thread: https://lemmy.world/comment/3761680

That comment chain is D E E P

That's just the way life is sometimes.

Yea I've had this issue pop up several times, not ideal aha
