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.
