Major Issue - comment threading / reply system is confusing/broken

When I reply to someone in the comments on a post, it’s not clear to me whether I replied to that person or just left a general comment on the post. Even when I clearly click on that person’s name and it shows that I am replying to that person, when I send the comment it doesn’t appear in a thread, or it does appear in a thread but it also appears at the bottom of the comments section on its own as well. I usually @ people by name in addition to replying, just in case.

This also makes the comments sections visually very messy and long, It probably discourages discussion, because multiple conversations are jumbled together without proper threading.

I strongly request for this to be fixed, especially since we’re being encouraged to use the Forums for conversation instead of Discord. The comments could be a great place for asynchronous, archived discussions that prove the value of the Forums, but instead they’re kinda a mess. :woman_shrugging: :confused:

I’m calling this a major issue because at this early moment when it’s crucial for us to be building up the Forums community, users are struggling to communicate with one another back and forth. It’s also probably one of the first things new people notice when jumping into the Forums - “Oh cool I want to reply to this person and connect with them… Wait it didn’t work?”
