Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the Show Context link is meant to work, but I would think when you click Show Context, it should show the comment being replied to so you can see the...Well, context.

Currently, at least on Lemm.ee, clicking Show Context does nothing. No parent comments are shown whatsoever, so the comment being viewed remains isolated & without context. The only way to see the context is to open all comments and search through for the comment you were linked to/saw and then read what it was replying to.

Thanks! Github gets me turned around at times, so really appreciate it!

Same for me, also on 0.18.3. It used to show the post with its parent but now I only geht the post.
