Often times, when looking at the comments on a post, some comments are hidden and replaced by a button that (in Lemmy-UI) says "1 more reply ➔" or "2 more replies ➔" (or in Lemuroid says "1 more replies") or some such. I assume the intent of this button is to cause the hidden comment to be shown, but the button never works for me.

I have similar issues in both Lemmy-UI and in Lemuroid. In Lemmy-UI on Firefox (on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Arch Linux Arm, but I doubt that matters), if I click the button, it turns into a loading graphic which spins forever. If I tap the button in Lemuroid, a loading bar appears at the top of the screen for a little under a second and then disappears, but the "1 more replies" button remains and the hidden comments do not appear.

Given that this is an issue in both interfaces I use, maybe that means it's a Lemmy issue and not specific to Lemmy-UI or Lemuroid? Not sure.

Looking in Firefox's Developer Tools, it appears that when I click that button, it does send a request to the server and the response is a 200. There's no output in the "console" tab when I click the button.

I did go look at the issue trackers for both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI, but haven't found any relevant bugs.

Actually, I'm not really sure what criteria are used to decide whether a post should be hidden by default. But I do moderate one community and if the hidden posts are the ones that are most downvoted or some such, it's probably important for mods to be able to see those hidden posts.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Well, today it's working in Lemmy-UI but only in some threads. In Lemuroid, the one that did work in Lemmy-UI just shows as expanded without me having to expand it, so I'm not sure about Lemuroid. Weird.
