After the update, I cannot see replies to comments. If I am logged out and view the post, all comments show. But when I log in I can see that there are replies to someone's comment but instead of showing the comments, I just see "2 replies." If I click to expand the comment chain, nothing happens. It's weird that everything looks normal if I'm logged out, but not when logged in.

Edit: I am also having a similar problem with the comments on this post. When logged in, no comments show, despite the comment icon showing that there are comments. I cannot even see my replies to other comments. I can see my comment reply to this post. If I log out, everything shows fine.

Edit2: I can see older comments on posts from a month ago. I don't know if this is a new comments issue, or something else. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about how lemmy works under the hood.

Have you gone into your settings and verified that you're not blocking any accounts? There could have been an error in the database on the upgrade that inserted blocks. This is pure speculation but easy to check on your end.

[–] s1ndr0m3 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not an account blocking issue. I cannot even see the comments on this post, including my own. I can only see your comment in my inbox. If I go to this post it does not show any comments, even my own replies.

wild

Hopefully one of the admins can figure it out

This is a test. I am commenting on my own post to see if I can see my own comment.

Edit: I can see this comment, just not any of the others, or my replies to those other comments.

Did you check to make sure you don't have Neato in your blocklist?

[–] s1ndr0m3 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I haven't blocked anyone. Weirdly, I don't see your comment, except in my inbox. If I go to my post and log out, your comment shows. If I log back in, I see no comments.

This happens to me a lot, but the comments that show or don't show seem random. It's about 8/10 times I can see the comments. Opening in browser shows them just fine though. No idea how to fix

[–] s1ndr0m3 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Prior to the lemmy update, I had a comment viewing problem. Refreshing the comments in my app would fix it. This issue is happening when viewing lemmy in my browser as well as my app. Refreshing doesn't fix the problem. Only when I am logged out can I see the comments. I can only see and respond to your comment through my inbox. If I go to the post. It all disappears.

Edit: Weirdly, I can see your comment, but not any of the others.
