when a post isn't the root

[hzoo]

it's a common to have a post where the url doesn't actually show up in the "root"/top post, only later like when it's a thread like (see ex post 2/2, where the post with the url is the last one). because of the naive approach of simply searching for posts that have a URL = current URL, it doesn't traverse up the post to find the root first.

this is even more of an issue on Twitter where currently people have chosen to put links in at least the 2nd tweet due to penalties which really has made this horrible

what do we want to do here?

normally looks like this

• at:post1 (with URL)
  • replies[]

also

• at:post1 (no URL)
  • at:post2
    • at:post3 (with URL)
      • replies[]

it can be weird that you don't see the context of post3? if we do show it, do we only show the thread to the root? or maybe it just say's it's a reply to a post and you can click to read the context.

currently it just shows "reply" underneath so at least you know it's not the top level
