Right now "more replies" leads you to a rabbithole of reply pages, to get back to original tweet for reading other comments you have to hit "back" multiple times in browser. Is it technically not possible to make it like original twitter at the moment?
Also what about hierarchical replies dropdown, like LiveJournal has? I know that Twitter is very different from LJ, and same reply can be addressed to multiple accounts but it will be great if possible.

Came here just to searching for this precise feature. It would be handy if was added.

I use "Infy Scroll" browser extension to load those url pages continuously.

For those interested, I used ChatGPT to create a script that does precisely this. It might not be the best implementation, so if anyone knows how to improve it, be my guess, please. To install it, just download some userscript extension, such as Tampermonkey and copy this into a new script

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Nitter Fixer
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @include     *nitter.*status*?scroll=true
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      -
// @description 31/01/2023, 21:45:25
// ==/UserScript==

function showMoreReplies() {
  // Select all .more-replies elements on the page
  const moreRepliesElements = document.querySelectorAll('.more-replies');

  // Iterate over each element
  moreRepliesElements.forEach(element => {
    // Check if the element already has a .replies sibling
    if (!element.previousElementSibling.classList.contains('replies')) {
      // Get the URL of the page that would be opened if you clicked on the element
      const url = element.querySelector('.more-replies-text').getAttribute('href');

      // Use the fetch function to retrieve the HTML content of the page
      fetch(url)
        .then(response => response.text())
        .then(html => {
          // Create a temporary element to hold the retrieved HTML content
          const tempElement = document.createElement('div');
          tempElement.innerHTML = html;

          // Select the .replies element from the temporary element
          const repliesElement = tempElement.querySelector('.replies');

          // Insert the .replies element as a sibling of the .more-replies element
          element.parentElement.insertBefore(repliesElement, element);

          // Hide the .more-replies element
          element.style.display = 'none';
        });
    }
  });
}

// Run the showMoreReplies function continuously
setInterval(function() {
  showMoreReplies();
}, 1000);

Update: At request I modified the script to only run on pages that end on "?scroll=true", such as:
https://nitter.net/netflix/status/1620814232768880650?scroll=true

If you don't want this behavior, just remove that part from the code.

I don't quite remember the exact words, but I had to tried a few times until I was able to make the ChatGPT understand what I was going for. Also, I posted the part of HTML of nitter page that I wanted the script to change and said something like: I would like to load the "More Replies" right into this page, and I tried until I was able to get what I wanted.

I would hate it if people started using this on nitter.net as it would often result in dozens of requests per page load. With that said there is one thing you can improve. By adding ?scroll=true to the url, Nitter only fetches the replies and not the full original thread. Please edit your script.

I don't think "more replies" is even a thing anymore, closing.
