# 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.

### API Example

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