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.
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.
