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!
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!
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
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.

I think this was the trick! Changed language setting so that “Undetermined” and “English” and comments in this very post appeared that weren’t there before! Thanks so much!
I just selected all languages so I’d be able to see everything.
Not available on connect you can only choose undetermined afaik

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 bot accounts are being shown or hidden, because it will hide bot comments and any child comments beneath bot comments too
Have you blocked anyone?
Did you turn off bots in your account settings?
Hmmm. I have blocked two users and two NSFW communities. Hard to imagine that low amount of blocking could be the cause for only seeing 2 out of 20 comments on a given post, but maybe?
Liftoff user here, can see all comments. For those that want to check, here’s the post in question:
Using your link 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
