Thread Collapsing

[8ullyMaguire]

A thread collapsing feature could be implemented to allow users to easily navigate through comment threads by collapsing and expanding them as needed. This feature should include:

1. A mechanism for collapsing and expanding threads, such as:
   • Clicking on the vertical line to the side of the comments, representing the thread hierarchy.
   • Clicking on a button, like an arrow icon, that toggles between an arrow pointing to the side (collapsed) and an arrow pointing down (expanded).
   • Maybe long tap for mobile.
2. A user setting for default thread collapsing behavior, allowing users to set a nesting level threshold. This would enable users to see only the least nested comments by default while still having the option to expand threads as needed. Maybe ask which level people prefer and make it the default. I personally would set the threshold at 2.

A browser addon could be a potential workaround for pc users until official implementation. (Like the reddit one)
