I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

Are you sure you selected English in the languages list? When I first started my account I left it on the default "Undetermined" and that made it where comments set to "English" would not appear, but still counted in the comments number. Need to choose both Undetermined and English.

I was missing dozens of comments on posts sometimes and for awhile thought I was blocked by hundreds of people (understandable.. I know I post cringe) before I figured it out. I don't know if the onboarding process made this clear, I obviously missed it if it did

Hmm… I just tried setting it to English and can't tell if it helped, but I hope this finally fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip!

Make sure it's set to English and Undefined. Cheers!

I noticed that it didn't solve the issue on a thread yesterday. I think my instance has an issue syncing comments. Oh well, thanks for the tip regardless. Maybe I'll see comments that I otherwise wouldn't have.
