On me my and third party apps on Reddit like Rif, sync all of them they have colored lines showing you the level of comments. Some are under a parent and some are just way off. How do you find what comment is referring to what? Has to be a simple way or am I just missing how easy it is outright?

I had a hard time in all Reddit apps I finally settled on rif with no lines but they had the parent next, previous

    How do you follow the convo though? I see lines that are underneath each other but then bam a line is really far left but I don’t know who it’s replying to. Any ideas on that?

      Maybe try collapsing some parent comments until you can see the thread?

      Replies to a top-level comment are indented to the right. This signifies a new comment thread. When two or more comments are replies to one and the same comment, they are displayed with the same color and on the same horizontal layer. The further to the right you go the deeper you go into the convo. If you see the lines suddenly jump back to the left it means that you reached the end of that particular convo. So that new line on the left should connect to where the convo forked into multiple threads (because it had more than one replies), or the next top-level comment.

      I hope that makes sense. Turns out this is kinda hard to explain without visual support, lol.
