How do you keep up HN post with more than 2K comments?
ie: I see Iphone Duo post with more than 2300 comments, how people consume that? are you using some clients or RSS or similar?
- minimaxir 18d agoYou are not required to read every comment on a HN submission.
- toomuchtodo 18d agoScan for high signal or value comments, read a subthread, collapse the subthread, as a "read" indicator. HN stores state in this regard for you, if logged in.

- Guestmodinfo 18d agoCheck for links using ctr F or something and yes no one can read all the knowledge in the world nor all the books in the world. We just read what we can
- JohnFen 17d agoI don't. Once there are more than a certain number of comments, there's a diminishing value to additional ones because they start restating what's already been said in other comments.
- Leftium 15d agoMy HN reader has QoL features for reading such posts: https://hn.leftium.com/i/49630931?q=%22aspect+ratio%22 https://hn.leftium.com/i/49630931?q=%22aspect+ratio%22 - Comments have 3 LOD (L:full, M:single line, S:collapsed) - Optimal default LODs - Simple to expand groups of comments (direct replies, comment thread ("spine"), full sub-tree) - Highlight specific users like OP, or other interesting users - Search for text within thread (automatically expands LOD) - Highlights new comments (since last visit or set time) It matches the way I want to read HN comments, anyways.
