Nested comments is something we actually decided not to implement. Look at this HN thread for example. It's very hard to follow and see what are the new ones. Sometimes I search for "minutes" to get entries that are within last hour.
If you want to branch out from a reply that's a new topic. We'll make that easier on later versions but definitely not nested comments.
- lakshmivyas 14y agoI am not sure if nested comments are really necessary for a forum either. For example, I see a lot of hacker news threads link to other threads in the same post where a response has been provided (I see one in this post as well). However, I think user addressability (@xxx) is important in a flat forum.
