How far can Lemmy support nested comments? Let's find out

Comment on the top level thing and someonw will hopefully comment on yours. Just say like "Test"

258 comments

Meanwhile, on Sync...
- Thunder wonders: is that all you've got?
  
  For Boost it just falls off the page eventually
  
  Eternity refuses to open the +98 comments
  
  Thunder goes further than that, but is bugging out trying to send the image.
- Beautiful 🤩
- I need to start using meanwhile more often
- Connect got the same thing lol. I couldn't help because I couldn't even see the last comments.
- Fine... I'll add support for this on Summit for the next update.
- Test
- Very cool
Oh god...

What did we do to Mastodon?!

Damn...
- Lols :)
As Voyager developer. HODL fix incoming, the nesting must go on!!1
- Aha, no way?! I got friends/responders in high places, feeling #Blessed
  
  Edit: also, excellent work, Dev! I'm more into Memmy but you've created a spitting image for Apollo and you should be extremely proud of that fact! I hope that opens incredible doors for you if you're in the market for said doors or at least you're able to work on whatever kind of projects that are of your preference :)
  
  Edit: i think i might be back in love with Voyager/Apollo. Ugh, I just don't know anymore.
is it broken now?
- So what's the finding?
  
  It looks like you broke the interwebs my mate
Test

Edit: "Btw, you can edit the text of your post to say 'current bottom-level' (instead of 'top level') which is what you mean." —the Gravity dude
- const MAX_COMMENT_DEPTH_LIMIT: usize = 100;
  
  I Guess that is the answer
  
  Touché, codesman 👾
- Test
  
  (figured I may as well, while I'm here, haha)
- Test!
  
  Test
- Btw, you can edit the text of your post to say 'current bottom-level' (instead of 'top level') which is what you mean.
Here we go again… 🤣

The result last time:
- Shhh! Lol
It's open source, so you could just go find that answer in the code, right?

Also, now I think of it, couldn't you just do this with one account?

I don't mean to ruin the fun or anything 😆
- You never know until you test it.
- That's assuming there's a hard-coded limit. There very likely isn't, but things can break when you push the limits of software like this. You won't be able to easily see what those are by looking at the code.
Find any Hexbear struggle session and you'll have your answer.
Let's
- Go
  
  Home
Should we...like...number them?
- Yesss
That was less exciting than expected.
Test 1
- Test 2
  
  Test 3
Damn, seems like we got to the limit. It's not possible to reply there anymore!
- What is the conclusion/limit—like 10?
  
  If I didn't get lost in the count, the color changed 14 times + 1 extra line. So 14 x 7 + 1 = 99.
  
  99 Nested comments.
I think Liftoff isn't even displaying the large comment

Edit: it just doesn't display the show more replies button
Test
Hah, I can still reply from Sync
I dont see the 100 replies comment maybe it got removed.
- Its basically 100. Its here somewhere anecdotally and also in hard code
