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

submitted 10 months ago by RandAlThor@lemmy.ca to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

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?

So I don't seem to have any issues with posts made on lemmy.ca, my local instance. It's elsewhere, like Lemmy.world where I can't see majority of comments. For instance, this post has 40 comments but I only see 5.

That's interesting given the community is hosted on lemmy.world, it should be the one with the authoritative view. And I see plenty of lemmy.world comments on lemmy.ca on that post.

It... Seems fine to me so that might be a user setting. Do you see the same problem when logged out?

Since both sites have the same comment count, I'm fairly sure it's either a language setting (not having undetermined selected), or due to user blocks.

I don't see any problems when logged out. In fact I can now see many more posts on lemmy world site.

What app/website are you using?

What you can also try is making accounts on those instances to see what is being filtered. You might notice a pattern hopefully.

Even accessing the community directly on the instance might work

I'm on lemmy.ca and I think I see 40+ comments on that post (counting quickly while scrolling)

No way really? That's weird! I can't see 90% of the comments on almost any other instances, like .world and .ml.
