Navigating Nested Comments

Current behavior

we can only view nested comments with one level of depth

Desired behavior

ideally we should be able to navigate N-depth nested comments back and forth

Challenges

Comments are not displayed all at once, so we can't just recursively render everything, we will have to make a "tree-cursor" or something like that to keep track of the state. I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement this properly

Alternatives

Make some custom widgets and render the comments recursively
enhancement help wanted

Show comments in tree form

Here's the code I'm using in lemmy-ui to build the hierarchical comment trees. This is necessary because the lemmy server returns comments flat, and its up to clients to build the full trees from the comment parent_ids (currently at least).

LTV looks great BTW!
