Description
Been using RedReader for years, and the only reason I have the official app installed is for comment-heavy posts like those found in r/AskReddit. In RR it seems like it's sending one request per comment instead of one request for the whole page, and the result is every single comment instead of the highest voted like you'd see in the official app.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the Android handler for "Load more comments" and the code that builds comment requests. Trace how a comment-heavy post is loaded and compare the request pattern and sorting behavior with the issue's expected whole-page, highest-voted result. Done means the flow no longer makes one request per comment and shows the intended comment ordering.
