I haven't been able to find any information about this error anywhere, so I'm hoping to find some help here.

I'm using version .150
The problem persists after a phone restart.
I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that's what I'm going to try now.

*UPDATE: Nope, that didn't work.

*UPDATE #2: I got frustrated with this issue and decided to install another app instead of waiting for someone to come along with the magic answer. Welp, the issue followed me to the Thunder app. This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with my phone (possible, but I haven't changed anything on it, either shortly before, or since this problem started) or an issue with Lemmy itself (of which I know absolutely nothing about how it works internally).
I did, however, see a big block of code pop up a couple times when Connect was trying and failing to load the comments, but both times it disappeared as soon as I touched the screen. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch if the imagination, so I didn't notice if it looked weird or anything (other than appearing where it shouldn't). I'll keep poking at Connect and Thunder to see if I can get it to do it again so I can try to grab a screenshot.

UPDATE #3: I was able to get the block of code to pop up again. This time it stuck around and, even though it wouldn't let me select and copy the text, let me take pictures. It's a pretty long chunk of (what I'm guessing is) HTML, which starts with "Error: < ! DOCTYPE html >"(minus some spaces) I took screenshots of the whole thing, but it's like 60 screens long so, I can edit the pics into one and post it if that helps, but it will take me a while.

UPDATE 4: This only seems to happen when I'm logged in. If I'm logged out while using the apps, I can still see the comments.

Is this happening on all instances or only a specific instance? Does it happen even if you're a guest user or signed out?

All instances, as far as I can tell.
I tried logging out, exiting the app completely, then I opened it back up, went on All, and clicked the first 20 or so posts with >3 comments. It didn't display any of the comments. I'd say 85ish% returned the error above, while the rest returned "No comments" (even though the post card showed comments were made).
