Linear thread styling #13

Open erlend-sh opened 1 year ago

erlend-sh commented 1 year ago

Would you accept a PR that adds support for forum threads with linearly ordered comments as an alternative display mode for boards (communities) that opt into it?

Basically like LemmyBB, but in a modern style closer to Discourse/NodeBB rather than phpBB.

Certain modes of discussion are better served by a linear flow, e.g. troubleshooting or feature ideation. There is however no reason why such discussion boards shouldn't co-exist with nested discussion boards on a singular instance & interface.
