In the screenshot I’ve included, you can see that the number of comments for the post is 20+. However, I only see 2 comments when I look at the post.
Is this just a byproduct of federation? I don’t think I’ve blocked any instances yet, but is it possible the comments are from instances blocked my lemmy.world? Also, I use Memmy on iOS; could that be the cause?
Appreciate any insight!
Check your language settings. If you changed them you are not able to see all posts.
This should be removed. We should encourage people from any country/language being able to communicate with eachother and make inline translations easy to setup vs hiding comments
Remove an option? Its by definition optional, and inline translation services are pretty bad usually so a lot of users might not want to use them
Why do I feel like you’d be leaving this platform if your feed was 90% german?
Just checked, I left the setting as “Undetermined” as it warns that changing the language will make certain content unavailable.
Change it to English lol. I forget where it was said, but a month or so ago I remember someone saying there had been an issue where if you leave it as Undetermined, it won't show you most English content.
Try using the web-ui on browser. I’ve been using browser for Lemmy and I never had any issues.
Just did this and your comment appeared in my notifications only after doing so! Looks like I’m good now. 😎
Same issue with Sync. I’ve always just though it was users who I’ve blocked/blocked me since the fediverse is so small
On top of language settings, you can also check if you’ve bot accounts are being shown or hidden, because it will hit bot comments and any child comments beneath a bot comment too
Try reloading it once or twice. I usually have to do that to have more than just a few comments show up
I have the same issue with Memmy, but also Voyager (IOS). I had also read a week or so ago a comment insinuating it was a federation issue with Lemmy.world commemts. I noticed the one comment saying they could see em was a .world account.
I followed a suggestion from another commenter here and added English to my language settings a long with “Undetermined”. That fixed it!
Liftoff user here, can see all comments. For those that want to check, here’s the post in question:
Using your post I see that I have the problem. I see all 22 comments on that post if I open your lemmy.ca link on browser but if I open it on Sync I am missing like 5 posts.
Now I need to figure out how to fix this…
I only see 1 with sync

I think it must be a federation thing? I have the same problem and would like a definitive answer.

Another commenter advised that I add “English” along with “Undetermined” in the language settings for Lemmy. That seems to have done the trick!

I’ll try this, thank you!
