    Hey, thank you for the reply.

    I went through the js-client docs, and the available methods.

    Seems GetPost is the one required for importing comments.

    I suppose it would arrive (to Hugo) as a json object (identical to the one in the console log of a Lemmy post).

    Within that GetPost data, I see that each nested-comment has a parent-comment-id.

    **

    1 - So would the idea be to rebuild a UI for the nested comments section?

    (and then connect other JS-client objects to new UI-elements, such as voting-buttons and reply-inputs)?

    2 - Or is there an easier way to display the data, since [Lemmy] and [all built-Hugo-pages] are running on the same server/domain?

    (and since Lemmy already has the UI code to build nested comments)

    [NOTE: Lemmy is in docker, Hugo-pages are in /srv/]

    **

    Essentially - What is the suggested/optimal way to display that js-client info on a js-capable static page?

    [Please forgive any naiveté in those questions. I am willing to experiment with new approaches.]

    I appreciate your response. It’s good to know that this technique is available.

      If you want to actually display this information, you will need to use your own UI elements. If you want, you can simply reuse the code for lemmy-ui and modify it for whatever you need.
