An issue that exists with both Tildes, and reddit is that when a lot of comments are nested, it can be difficult to tell which comment is the "parent" of another comment. E.g. there could be six vertical bars to the left of a certain comment, and unless it's immediately below the parent comment, if I want to see what it was posted in response to, I need to scroll up and count the vertical bars next to the comments until I find one with five bars. If the full context, or a preview of the higher-level comments at the very least, remained on-screen when scrolling, that would be really nice. It could also help refresh one's memory of a discussion if they switch tabs/windows or get off their computer/phone for a while then return to the page later on.
