Nest & Collapse Comments

Feature Requests

Would really like to see the option of more deeply nested comments, along with the option to collapse all nested comments. (See how comments work on Substack.)
As it stands now, comments on Heartbeat are nested only 1 level deep, which can be quite confusing for more complex discussions.
In addition, the entire comment thread is now visible, which is also problematic in terms of reading ease with longer and more complex discussions.

    Adding to this a default to collapsed threads, with an option to see the whole thread. See picture below.

    Longer threads get very hard to scroll past on mobile!

    Yes please especially for the latter request!!

    Posts and comments in my community are long! You have to scroll for days to get to the next comment. PLEASE implement the ability for thread posts and comments to auto collapse similar to FB. That way you can click a “see more” link to expand the comments you’re interested in reading. It looks better overall and is easier on the eyes when scrolling.
