Has anyone else noticed that not all comments are showing up under posts? For example, I’ll get a notice that someone has posted a comment, I tap to go see it in the thread, and nothing is there. I then manually navigate to the post to view all the comments and only a fraction of them appear instead of all of them.

    I noticed this once as well. Maybe caching?

    There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.

      I wrote as a top-level comment elsewhere here, but I can see some replies to a comment thread if I use Top sorting and another set of replies if I use Hot… if caching were the issue I don’t think I’d be able to view different comment subthreads depending on sorting.

        So the problem is likely the Lemmy server software then. Somehow. Yuck.

          I mean, that’s possible. But I can view all the comment replies to a top-level comment (using any sorting) when using Jerboa instead of Connect. So this issue seems to be specific to Connect unfortunately!

    I have been seeing the same thing, where my posts (and replies to my posts) show up in my inbox or under my profile, but when I navigate to the post itself, those posts are missing.

      Sorry, what your experiencing is exactly what I’m meaning. I can see the comment in my inbox, but once I go to the actual thread, it’s gone.

      This particular comment couldn’t be loaded because the instance it was posted on was not online. If you visit http://lemmy.fmhy.ml and notice it’s online then you should be able to load that comment.

        Now it says post can’t be loaded. But when it loaded it happened. I think its when too many comments are in the chain, i have another example here only loads stuff that isn’t my comment.

          Okay, yeah, when I view that from your post history in Connect, I don’t see your reply, even when viewing the whole thread. Shows up fine on mobile. Hopefully the issue will be fixed soon.

      This looks like a Lemmy issue as it’s also the case over different instances on mobile rather than just showing in Connect. I’m not sure what the cause is.

    I had this issue in a recent comment thread. Weirdly, the “invisible” set of comments show up if I change sorting from Top to Hot for example, so I had to switch between sortings to answer different subcomment threads.

    One particular reply I got, I couldn’t see with either sorting: I could see it in my inbox but not view it in Connect. I had to use Jerboa to see and answer it. Very frustrating and strange.

    Clarification: Jerboa shows all comment replies to a top-level comment using any sorting.
