If you are fine serving more data, you could trigger a "More" automatically when the user minimizes a comment thread, and add the "More" comments to the bottom of the page?
Also, to encourage people exploring "More" comments, maybe some comments inside the 2-3 megathreads showing in the first page can be minimized at first?
I wonder what are the thoughts on these design. I really like how Hacker News is designed, thank you!
- dang 6y agoMy thoughts: the first suggestion is too complex for HN and would amount to a sort of infinite scroll, which users here would probably hate (many have said so pre-emptively!). The second suggestion is probably a good idea. I worked on it at one point but it turned out to be a little harder to get right than I expected. Will probably return to it.
