Just the clarify, you haven't been able to solve it yet, correct? Just as a recap, I was able to get the pictured thread to show no comments by:

  • blocking m/askamericans or
  • blocking d/lemmy.world or
  • blocking d/kbin.social

I was not able to get comments to change on the thread by

  • turning federation off
  • setting a language filter to only any language besides english

I wonder what else I could be missing. I do see you have plugins but I can't imagine it's that, if it resolves when you log out, it must be a user setting somehow. I would consider making note of all the blocked domains / magazines you do have, maybe lift them for a second and reload the thread, and see if that fixes it. Perhaps there's a domain I'm not imagining would cause this.

So I tried unblocking everything, and the comments appeared, even while logged in. I then re-blocked the users and it was still fine. I then re-blocked lemmynsfw.com and the comments disappeared. I tried the other domain I have blocked, and it did the same thing. I finally tried a third domain that had not previously been blocked, and it happened again. It seems like the comments disappear if I block any instance at all.

EDIT: I also confirmed that none of the commenters were from the blocked domains.

Whhhhhaaaaaaattttt that's so weird. I can confirm it's the same for me. If I block /d/lemmynsfw.com all of the comments in that thread disappear despite it being completely unrelated, the OP isn't from that domain, the magazine obviously isn't, and no commenters are. I'll have to see if there's a similar issue in their code repo yet or not or if there's a reason this is happening
