So this isn’t a major thing, but I’ve blocked some bots (e.g. ones that provide an alternative video link on every YouTube post), and whenever I see a post like this, it still shows 1 comment. So I go in, and there’s nothing there. Obviously it’s still counting the blocked account commenting within this total.

In order to see what people are actually commenting on, is it possible to have the option to adjust this total to ignore blocked accounts?

    There’s not unfortunately. We just get the total count, it’s impossible to know what # of comments from that total are blocked.

      Ahh that’s ok, thanks for confirming. Perhaps a future update to Lemmy may change things, but it’s only a minor concern regardless.
