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!

    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?

      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

        Its actively causing bad user experiences because it’s confusing and also hard to know that it’s causing the issue
