In a post on its developer blog, Facebook product engineer Alex Madjar says developers can now set up different comment "views" on posts.
The first view is called "top level comments," which are standalone comments on a post that are not replies to individual comments. Next, "replies," are comments responding to other comments. Finally, the last view, "comment streams," show all comments — both top level and replies — together; this view lists comments in chronological order, helping programmers "get what's new."
Madjar then explains how to get started with the new APIs: "Opt into the 'July 2013 Breaking Changes' migration for your app by visiting the Advanced tab of your app dashboard."
Last week, Facebook announced that users can now reply directly to comments left on their pages and profiles (à la Reddit), enabling easier navigation through conversation threads. The most active and popular comments will also surface to the top of posts. As of July 10, all pages will have the feature turned on, although users can choose to opt-in earlier.
