How to fix display of really long comment threads? - Lemmy.World

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

Interested to see what solutions for this are proposed that don’t involve re-rooting the comment tree from a lower depth. Tesseract is susceptible to this on mobile as well, and I’ve decreased the left padding as far as it’ll go as a partial workaround.

I’m not crazy about having to re-root the comment tree like Reddit does (or at least used to do) beyond a certain depth, so hoping to hear some better suggestions I can borrow.

rerooting would be like what the voyager app does? One alternative from visual perspective could maybe be the trains view from the öffi app? Sort of sideways diagonal scrolling? idk just brainstorming/brainfarting here, the pic reminded me a little of that view somehow

Haven’t used Voyager for a bit, but maybe. I’ll check and see how it does it. I’m trying to avoid that as a solution, though, if I can.

I’ve always joked (but not joking lol) that if the user has to scroll horizontally, you’ve failed as a designer. 😆
