Comment count shows many comment, yet i see just few
Hi! I see the indicators how comments are there for posts, but if i want to view them, i see only few, or none at all, but an infite loading indicator. I know i have to open comment threads, but either way, the indicator shows there should be waaay more comments than i see. Why is that? Im using Connect client, but also same if i open my instance from a web browser. Switched instance too, all the same. For example the indicator shows 337 comment for the post, but if i open i see 2 comment threads, with around 10 comments overall. Other case, it shows 1 comment, then if i open, i see "No comments". Also, mostly if i see "View more (x)" and i tap on them, no more appears there, just this view more disappears. My blocking list is empty, no defederated instance comments. I see this problem on 99% of post, if there are comments on it.
Edit: Now i dont even see the first comment, only i could read it in my notifications.
Because you can't see this comment most likely. Lemmy world admins ban a lot of people and defederate a lot of instances and communities.
There is also the case of bots and you may have bots turned off in your settings.
It could be people you've blocked or people that your instance has defederated from, so you won't be able to see any comments from Lemmygrad for example.
lol now i see: if a language is not set in my lemmy instance settings (only availabe from web), then lemmy hides the messages that are not set for me. Since it was on undetermined (default), all english posts are hidden... This is really weird, and nonsense, this kind of problems can discourage new lemmy users.
Oh, it should have all languages on by default. There might've been a problem with something changing your settings.
