I do wonder if there's a hard limit at some point regarding "nested replies"...

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think so.

SUUUUUUUUURE!!!11 I"M oN ITTTTTTTT

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

GOOOOOOOOD!!!!

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One takeaway from this surely is that such deeply nested endeavours sure are easily missed.

ey

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha, for sure I missed the other comment...

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So we can continue now.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, second season, here we go!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well first a quick PREVIOUSLY ON PROGRAMMER HUMOR: "How some people are in comments. Always gotta get that one last comment in the chain in."

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, that's how it all started.

I just unfolded everthing. Seems we are on the 8th rainbow. Almost looks like on my phone, while in potrait mode, 10 rainbows will likely have it filled up.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On mobile, I'm already unable to reply to you.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wow, even if you put it in landscape? In either case, lemmy's web interface hides a lot of context by default when answering via the "messages" notifcation. So in a sense, with that one could reply endlessly. Then again, that's not part of our experiment I'd say.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With my App I do not have more space in landscape because I will see the post and comment section at the same time in split screen mode.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see. 9th rainbow, here we go.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

9 in a very small number imo

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda, but that's "rainbows".

Status quo (your comment): 8 x 7 + 1 = 57 sure is bunch of stripes.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On Desktop, we aren't even at 50% yet, tho.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh boy... can't promise you that I will last that long. I know it sounds pathetic, but is replying to one's own comment an option (just for stress testing)?
