Is it ok if all the valid comments are replies?

I've hit 1000 valid comments, but they're basically all replies to comments.

I think because I've run my program for so long (more than 48 hours) on the top 5 submissions, there were a lot more comments to respond to than posts to respond to especially due to the "practice posting here" submission. The top-level comments got drowned out in reddit's history.

I was keeping track of bot_counter.py's outputs. At one point, my bot had this:

len(comments)= 314 len(top_level_comments)= 151 len(replies)= 163 len(valid_top_level_comments)= 23 len(not_self_replies)= 138 len(valid_replies)= 128

valid_comments= 151

Now, it looks like this:

len(comments)= 1000 len(top_level_comments)= 1 len(replies)= 999 len(valid_top_level_comments)= 1 len(not_self_replies)= 999 len(valid_replies)= 999

valid_comments= 1000

Is this a problem?

It's 100% fine if most/all of your comments are replies.

PS. Putting the output of your code inside of a code block (triple backticks) will prevent the weird formatting you're getting on this message.
