Pretty much any post on Lemmy is missing comments and they never show up no matter what I do. Sometimes I can fidget with the sorting, clicking "New" and "chat" and one or two may show up, but not all. I am guaranteed if a thread has X comments, only a fraction of those are visible to me. It sucks to see on one of my posts that I have 10 comments, but can only see 3, for example.

Also, sometimes I get a reply from someone that I can read in my inbox, but when I click to go to the original thread, it's not there.

I really like Lemmy, but this annoys the hell out of me and I don't understand why it is happening.

Edit: To clarify, I am using the Lemmy.World default web interface in the LibreWolf browser.

Solution:

Thanks @NiaTheCat!

[In your profile settings, in addition to "Undetermined," also] make sure English is selected too, you’ll see comments marked with no language but you won’t see any marked as English directly without it, and some instances default to marking them English

If on PC you can hold ctrl to select multiple

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

Sorry, I posted an edit above. I'll copy/paste it so you won't miss it: It appears if I visit that thread in a browser that I’ve never logged in to, in this case a Chrome guest session, all the comments show up. They then disappear except for the 3 I can see when I actually sign in, lol! WTH! If I then logout, all the comments are visible again!

No, I only have the "Hot Indian Actresses" community blocked since it is a technically SFW community, but I don't want sexy pictures like that showing up while at work.
