Ok, this is a weird problem I’ve had happened twice now. I make a post (one was to a kbin magazine, one to a lemmy community), and I’ll get notifications that there are comments. But when I go to the post to look at them, it will say “5 comments” but show none of them and say there are no comments. But, if I log out, I can see the comments. If I log back in, they’re gone. I’ve tried in different browsers (Safari and Firefox) and had the same issue.

If it was once, I’d think it was a fluke, but it’s twice now, and on different federated sites.

    Check out https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019 to see if it’s similar to what other people have posted about recently: tl;dr blocking domains appears to filter out posts / comments even when those domains are not involved in the post. I’ll repost what I put in one of the threads:

    If posts are disappearing when you’re logged in but not when logged out, it should be something like that: either a language filter, federation turned off, or a blocked community you might not expect filtering it out. You can double check by unblocking domains/magazines to see if any of them return comments, though that might be troublesome with many blocked.

      Where can I check to see what communities I have blocked? I’ve got a handful at most blocked, but I don’t remember what they are.

      My language filtering is set to use English and Japanese, and federation is on. This post is set for English, so it should come through, but I’m having the issue on this post (I had to cludge it to be able to both see your comment and reply - copy the link to a browser I wasn’t logged into, click on reply from there, then log in).

    This was how this post looks to me (I switched to my iPad because it’s in English and to test it on a different device)

    …and in a massive fit of irony, I’m not seeing my comments here. It’s telling me “No comments” while displaying a count of 2. 🫠
