           | for a while - only downside is that it's a bit slow.

       | On my personal Teddit instance, pages load approximately eight

       | features, such as being able to see the entire nested threads
       | (like here on Hacker News) without expanding them individually.

         | I tried Libreddit as an alternative, which is much faster, but
         | I prefer the look/feel of Teddit.
