Expected

Currently we only show top-level comments, that is, only comments made directly TO the post are shown, and not comments made replying to another comment. However some articles have interesting discussions, and this feature would allow the user to see them.

However I don't imagine an appearance like dev.to, which pushes comments more to the right depending on the level of reply nesting.
I imagine something like:

Hey this is my original comment

@user I'm a second user replying to you
@user2 Oh hello second user!

So the idea is mentioning the user they're replying to + the reply itself. This aligns more with a mobile-like view, as it occupies less horizontal space, while still allowing to see all comments. A good reference for this layout is instagram or tiktok.
