Theres no threading
as in:
(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
what i expected is:
(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
Re:(PR #123)
So that one can see on first glance that there are 2 comments to the PR
and then following discussion on top of these 2 comments

is there a disadvantage ?
Especially with simple like 1 line patches being able to just see it straight
could be nice

ive subscribed now with a 2nd account for watching only so i can filter the
watch all stuff away from things that i actively touched
otherwise watching the repo results in my inbox duplicating everything from
fffjo from ffmpeg-devel
Maybe we should collect all these suggestions on how to effectively use
forgejo in some place/file/wiki ?
thx
