    So if someone replies to a post and then someone replies to the reply then the original replier deletes their comment that might explain the duplication and spinny thing 💡 . Have I just solved the problem? Quick test it out.

      I vote we officially name the spinny thing the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.

      Deleted my original reply. Spinny boi showed up. Testing to see if a separate reply will show up

      E: whoops. Looks like another reply to the parent erases the spinny wheel from the now deleted comment.

          I swear the spinny thing used to show up more regularly when there were a large number of comments, and not just with deleted comments (I’d view the same thread while logged in on a desktop browser and be able to see more). Never mind, that must be a relic now…

            I think what happens is when comments collapse after 300+ and someone in the chain deletes a comment it shits its self. 💩

              It does suck when it’s so easy to accidentally delete comments on mobile at least when you open the editing interface - but then, if that happens you can actually undelete your comment from the same interface for a bit afterwards by clicking on the bin button again

                I think what we need to do now is find out why comments collapse after 300+. If that could be fixed then if someone does delete a comment spinny thing comes out but doesn’t fuck with chain.

        It does - I erased the spinny from my comment below. Good detective work.

          Oops. Went into my other account to check it looked the same, and accidentally posted from there. It’s like a visit from my Reddit self 🤣

              It would incur the wrath of the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.

                That’s ok. It’s all in the name of science.
