Feature Request: Nested Comment Functionality

Description: Implement a nested (threaded) comment system similar to Reddit. This would allow users to reply to specific comments and create a hierarchical structure for better discussion flow. Feature Details:

1)  Users should be able to reply to comments, which will create a nested thread.
2)  Each reply should be indented under the parent comment to visually distinguish hierarchy.
3)  There should be no limit to how deep the nesting can go.
4)  Option to collapse or expand threads for better navigation of lengthy discussions.
5)  Add functionality for sorting comments (e.g., by newest, oldest, most upvoted).

Suggested Approach:

1) Frontend: Update the comment component in React to support nested comments, with proper styling using Tailwind CSS. 2) Backend: Update the Postgres schema to store parent-child relationships for comments. Add API endpoints for fetching nested comments. 3) UI/UX Ensure clear visual distinction for nested threads and add user-friendly controls (expand/collapse).

I was working on this issue earlier but wasn't able to complete it , first understand the code base and you are ready to go.

Hi @Abhishek123a45,

I think we can work together on this issue since it's a bit complex and could use both of our inputs. Let me know if you're okay with it, so @AkshitLakhera can assign it to both of us.

[Abhishek123a45]

@VarunChopra11 Yes, let's do it. I think we can divide the work.
