ensure child comments are displayed in post view? (lemmy.ml)

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

currently my client displays child comments/replies to a given comment based on a get-comments request and the sort arg. if a child comment is returned by such a request, it will be included as part of the tree, but otherwise not. it means the child is subject to sorting itself.

but what is needed is that if a parent comment is displayed/returned by request/sort arg, all its children should be also. that seems to me to be how the webUI works also.

any tips on how to ensure that?

ah i solved it, it's that the max_depth arg has no sane default, so a client needs to set it manually. currently the server has a hard 300 max value i think.
