The screenshot shows comments somehow being nested multiple levels without an intermediate parent. That’s a bug, right? Nesting should only be increasing by one level at a time.

I’ve observed this happening a ton across many different threads. There’s also some weird cases where the top level comment is just a link to “show parent” and… It’s not actually top level??

    I noticed that too. Changing comment sort didn’t seem to affect it, at least not that I noticed. It seems that it’s listing the newer child replies as technically newer than some of the parents, and sorting by new affected the whole tree, not just top level comments.
