Ever since I joined 6 Months ago, I’ve had the issue where comments or entire posts won’t show up. Recently it has gotten even worse, where it feels like I can only see 20% of what lemmy has to offer…

To be a bit more exact, the Comment Count under posts and the total posts of a Community are always far more then what is actually there. Furthermore, if I post something and someone comments under it, I can read the comment in the inbox, but if I click on it to open it under the post itself, it simply isn’t there. Thats also why im certain that all those missing posts and comments are actually there, just not displayed

I believe non of those stem from defederated places. The only idea I could come up with is that back when I first joined, there was a discussion around some language settings that could screw with that for some reason. But nowadays I can’t find those threads, so I figured I’d ask here.

Thanks!

    Pretty sure its because this instance purges the whole comment chain below a comment when a comment is removed. Afaik this isnt typical behavior, most instances have a ‘comment removed by mod’ and shows the rest of the thread. Those comments arent technically removed, you can see them in people’s profiles and in search results, so I assume its a quick mod to this server.

      The thing is, as long as they are in the inbox, I can respond to them, and the others do react to those comments I leave. That also wouldnt explain why its like 80% missing, I highly doubt that this many people delete thier posts and comments

        Nah its specifically some sort of tool the admins or mods use for this instance and its a little buggy. You can respond even though the thread is hidden because technically those comments werent deleted.

          This isnt the only instance where this is happening thought? Its happening everywhere. And most of those comments don’t break any rules either to warrent it being hidden?
