Why can't I see the discussion comments in a lemmy thread? (lemmy.ca)

27 comments fedilink hide all child comments

For some reason, I can't see most of the discussion comments of posts but only a fraction - maybe 10% or less. What might be the reason? adblocks?

Since the last major lemmy update there is a federation issue that could be the reason for your problems. Some servers/instances have fixed that problem, some still run on the version that has problems.

It's been that way for me ever since I came on Lemmy. I figured bugs or something so I have waited for months but just thought I'd ask.

If it's since then you might be affected by something else, too. But there definitely is the federation bug since version 0.19.0 (early December). So no matter what you do, until the developers fix this, you currently won't be able to see all the posts/comments.

Wasn't it fixed in 0.19.1?

[–] hendrik@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No. 0.19.1 was supposed to fix it, but it didn't. And people said it syncs at least every 24h hours, but that also wasn't the case.

The bugreport got re-opened, and I already saw some workarounds and tags for another upcoming bugfix release.

Do you have the setting to hide bot accounts turned on? When I had that on I noticed a lot of missing comments.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I'll check.
