This seems to be new in the one magazine I moderate. In some threads, but not all, I can’t see any comments, but I can see how many comments there are, and when logged out I can read them. I can go to another instance and see them there, so I also know they’re federating. Very odd.
I thought it might be something to do with threads started by users from other instances, but there is at least one of that type where I can see the comments fine. I also tried turning off my *monkey scripts, logging out, and clearing cookies. Nothing seems to help.
Double check you aren’t blocking the magazine https://kbin.social/m/askamericans (if the no entry symbol is lit up red next to subscribe, or you can find the full list under https://kbin.social/settings/blocked/magazines ). I know that may be unlikely but that’s the only way I can think of at the moment to show No comments (verified that has said effect of showing no comments while keeping comment count). I know it’s not federation turned off and it’s not language filter settings as neither had that effect
I started that mag and moderate it, and I don’t have any blocked. I have two blocked instances, but neither is lemmy.world. I also blocked a handful of individual users, but no one in that mag.
EDIT: Of course TYVM for your help.
Just the clarify, you haven’t been able to solve it yet, correct? Just as a recap, I was able to get the pictured thread to show no comments by:
- blocking
m/askamericansor - blocking
d/lemmy.worldor - blocking
d/kbin.social
I was not able to get comments to change on the thread by
- turning federation off
- setting a language filter to only any language besides english
I wonder what else I could be missing. I do see you have plugins but I can’t imagine it’s that, if it resolves when you log out, it must be a user setting somehow. I would consider making note of all the blocked domains / magazines you do have, maybe lift them for a second and reload the thread, and see if that fixes it. Perhaps there’s a domain I’m not imagining would cause this.
So I tried unblocking everything, and the comments appeared, even while logged in. I then re-blocked the users and it was still fine. I then re-blocked lemmynsfw.com and the comments disappeared. I tried the other domain I have blocked, and it did the same thing. I finally tried a third domain that had not previously been blocked, and it happened again. It seems like the comments disappear if I block any instance at all.
EDIT: I also confirmed that none of the commenters were from the blocked domains.
Whhhhhaaaaaaattttt that’s so weird. I can confirm it’s the same for me. If I block
/d/lemmynsfw.comall of the comments in that thread disappear despite it being completely unrelated, the OP isn’t from that domain, the magazine obviously isn’t, and no commenters are. I’ll have to see if there’s a similar issue in their code repo yet or not or if there’s a reason this is happening
- blocking
Wait, I missed something. Blocking
/d/lemmy.worldalso has this effect. I didn’t think it would since you posted in the thread as well, but it must only factor in the OPs domain potentially and filter out all of the comments in that case, regardless of their source
