Sometimes I see top-level comments on a post that, from their content, appear to be replying to other comments within the post. Is there some bug that makes them appear as top-level comments rather than replies to the comment they’re responding to? Or are people just bad at replying to the correct comment? I never see this on reddit so I’m confused why I’m seeing so many cases of it on lemmy.
It might be an issue that Reddit is much more built around offiical interfaces (apps and websites) where they can own the chain from UI through database, making sure replies go to the right place.
The more open nature of this platform means more room for that chain to malfunction, whether through bad UI or 3rd party developers botching the communication behind the scenes.
