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!
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
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.
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
