What’s the best place for LW feature requests: I’d like to be able to walk up comments all the way to the top comment, using “Show more comments above”. As it is currently implemented, there is no way to differentiate between “button does nothing because it only work a certain number of levels up”, and “reached the highest level, i.e. the top level comment”.
Seconding this. You can get around it by clicking the permalink button to the topmost comment and traveling up further from that but it’s still anoying
You can use the “parent” button. It sits beside the reply button and looks like a bent arrow that goes left and up. When you are at the top level comment the parent button disappears.

And I’d like “context” to show (or perhaps have an option to show) the whole tree which includes a comment rather than a single thread.
If you click the permalink on any comment, you get the whole tree descending from it.

Neat; that makes my request more of a bug report than a call for a new feature.
