It is the Reddit model. Basically, posts in the same number of lines are replying to the same post.

Do you honestly find that easy to follow? It just causes anxiety for me.
It's better than Twitter's for sure. Especially for complicated reply structures with multiple conversations at once. Twitter's one only works when you are following a single branch of the conversation. It works because it forces you to go into your follows branches and ignore replies at each level. Which is not ideal.
But the current view needs work. We need to code a way to "close" branches so that when they break off and you are in the second branch, you can click to close and see the post the author was replying to.
Lots of work yet.
Good collapsible thread views seem like the hardest thing to accomplish. I don’t think any client has gotten it right yet tbh.
Neither in Nostr nor in centralizing apps out there. It's indeed a challenge.
But we have to embrace it. Or we risk just being another centralization force in the world. :(
