Some comments not appearing? (self.meta)

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Sometimes federation takes a bit, especially from some of the instances that go down more like feddit.de

I can see the comment on the thread you linked when checking it now https://programming.dev/comment/9725576

Oh, maybe that's why sometimes there are more comments counted but they don't display. So, in theory, if I find a post where that's the case and then visit it after it's been dormant for a while, I'd see the formerly-missing comments. I'm going to test that. I hope that's the source.

That doesn't show the same comment for me, it's one of the child comments... "show context" and "view all comments" still don't show me this comment, nor does the user's profile page.

The comment language is set to german, do you have that disabled in your language settings?
