How come I can’t see all comments in some (maybe all?) posts on Lemmy?
How come I can’t see all comments in some (maybe all?) posts on Lemmy?
In the screenshot I’ve included, you can see that the number of comments for the post is 20+. However, I only see 2 comments when I look at the post.
Is this just a byproduct of federation? I don’t think I’ve blocked any instances yet, but is it possible the comments are from instances blocked my lemmy.world? Also, I use Memmy on iOS; could that be the cause?
Appreciate any insight!

Check your language settings. If you changed them you are not able to see all posts.
This should be removed. We should encourage people from any country/language being able to communicate with eachother and make inline translations easy to setup vs hiding comments
Remove an option? Its by definition optional, and inline translation services are pretty bad usually so a lot of users might not want to use them
Its actively causing bad user experiences because it’s confusing and also hard to know that it’s causing the issue
Why do I feel like you'd be leaving this platform if your feed was 90% german?
Just checked, I left the setting as “Undetermined” as it warns that changing the language will make certain content unavailable.
Change it to English lol. I forget where it was said, but a month or so ago I remember someone saying there had been an issue where if you leave it as Undetermined, it won't show you most English content.

I think this was the trick! Changed language setting so that “Undetermined” and “English” and comments in this very post appeared that weren’t there before! Thanks so much!
I just selected all languages so I'd be able to see everything.
Not available on connect you can only choose undetermined afaik
