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

        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

        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.

      Just did this and your comment appeared in my notifications only after doing so! Looks like I’m good now. 😎

    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?

    I have the same issue with Memmy, but also Voyager (IOS). I had also read a week or so ago a comment insinuating it was a federation issue with Lemmy.world commemts. I noticed the one comment saying they could see em was a .world account.

      I followed a suggestion from another commenter here and added English to my language settings a long with “Undetermined”. That fixed it!

      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…
