# Discussions

### Topics & Comments

A `DiscussionActivity` consists of topics. A `Topic` contains a connection to `Comment`, which contains the top-level comments, then every `Comment` contains a connection to `Comment` for replies.

{% hint style="info" %}
Comment replies in Eduflow go one level deep only.
{% endhint %}

### API Example

Topics and Comments are available via a pageable [GraphQL Connection](https://graphql.org/learn/pagination/#end-of-list-counts-and-connections):

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MT0jmlOIXnJAuofcp4E" %}
[Paginating queries](/graphql/pagination.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Query" %}

```graphql
{
  activity(id: "ae8f3183-0fd0-48e1-b52d-2f455cd78db7") {
    ... on DiscussionActivity {
      title
      topics(first: 2) {
        edges {
          node {
            title

            likesCount

                  }
                  replies {
