Seems to highlight new comments, but I can't tell how new. I think newer than (including) 10 minutes.

Yes the cutoff is 10 minutes I recently saw a comment turn the darker shade at exactly 11 minutes old.

New comments since you last visited I believe?

Edit: It's comments newer than 10 minutes on default lemmy-ui

That's not it, you can go to any thread and see 5 minute old comments be highlighted

It means those are new from the last time you viewed the thread. So if you see a thread that says (3 new) the new ones will have that greyed background

Would be cool if there was a way that new comments were highlighted regardless of time. Much like how Apollo does it on Reddit.

I think the lighter comments are new comments since the last time you visited that post?
