I just noticed it on this post: https://lemmy.world/post/7295325?scrollToComments=true
The post says there are 4 comments. When I click on the post, I only see 2 comments (the toggle is set to “Hot”). If I click the “Chat” option I see all 4 comments.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Maybe the chat option doesn’t respect filters in the settings (like hiding bot accounts or your specified language)?
I don’t think I have any settings that would filter out those comments tho…
It looks like the two missing comments are replying to a deleted comment – you can see this clearly from kbin.social here: https://kbin.social/m/thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world/t/567779/St-Louis-cop-who-shot-up-a-kids-trick-or-treating-event
Maybe there’s a bug with how Lemmy handles threads involving deleted comments?
Edit: There’s an issue open about this bug already – https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2133
That must be the issue. Thanks!!
While I didn’t have the exact same problem, I did have issues seeing all the comments on any given post. If I was signed out I could see them all.
I went to the instance setting in my browsers (not an app) and changed the language settings to include both the default (unsure of that’s what it’s called exactly) and English settings. I haven’t had an issue since.
Hope that helps!
Yeah I also had that problem when I first joined Lemmy and did the same thing to fix it. Thanks though!
Might be worth noting that if I click “New”, “Hot”, or “Top” I see the same 2 comments. “Old” shows me zero comments. “Chat” auto-selects “New” and flattens out the comment hierarchy showing all 4 comments.
