Use pagination for the comments on profile pages

Profile Technical UI/UX

Here's an idea we're considering, and we want to hear what you guys think.
Instead of showing some comments and a "Load more comments" button that loads all the rest, we'd replace that with pagination. It would show the comments per group of 10 or so, and then page numbers at the bottom to go to the next group. Just like the pagination on our list pages.

On some profiles, the number of comments is growing to hundreds of comments, and this would solve the problem of having an extremely long page (when all comments are loaded).

Comments (5)

@Pryda If the user can select how many comments to show on the first page in their profile settings, so it's a permanent setting and doesn't have to be done for every comment section, and can be set to maybe max 100, I think that's a good idea.

It's an interesting idea. It has my support 👍

@Pryda So, it's sort of like a comment thread, but the collapsed version — where replies are hidden until you click it. Or a “collapsed replies” or a “collapsed comment thread.” 👍🏼

Yes! Would also make browsing the oldest comments on a profile much easier as you could jump to a specific page instead of needing to click 'load more comments' over and over until you reach that point.

@Pryda I like this idea. Hiding comments of comments (similar to instagram or reddit), with a load more button could also be an option to hide people fighting in the comment section
