  • In lemmy-ui, I have to build the tree from the flat comments manually. You could do the same, or create a “2-level” one which has the comment, and its optional parent. Then you could check for the parent in the handlebars template and do a quote-style thing.

    I wouldn’t recommend actually inserting quoted comment text for comment replies: its a problem of displaying context only.



  • Nice! Just tested this out, it works well. I had to use LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=https://lemmy.ml ROCKET_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 cargo run since I develop over a network.

    The main thing that makes it difficult tho, is the lack of comment trees. phpBB is flat, like pretty much all these old forums. You might be able to provide the parent comment context, I think some of them use a quoted-style syntax, to at least show what the current comment is replying to, then you could keep everything flat.
