For example, I’m on Lemmy.sdf.org and I joined the [email protected] community. But there are many missing articles and comments. If I browse directly on Lemmy.ml for the same article there ~90% of comments are missing.

https://lemmy.ml/post/1152794 has 26 comments https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/11232 has 0 comments

But, that should only matter when viewing via a logged in server. Those two links are to communities directly on servers. I suppose it’s possible no one on lemmy.sdf.org has subscribed to that community. That could explain the original question but doesn’t explain the example posted by @[email protected] example of https://lemmy.ml/post/1136642 vs https://lemmy.fdvrs.xyz/post/1436

(How do I get a link to reference a comment that works everywhere?)

I'm sorry, i don't know enough about lemmy yet to answer that. my advice about the language settings was what an admin told me when I had similar problems, and it worked for me. if it hasn't solved your problem, then I guess it's something else.

sorry I couldn't help more

No problem. You’ve probably been here longer than me. We’re all trying to figure this out. The question reveals issues I wasn’t aware of. You actually mentioned something that would be relevant in some situations that taught me something. I was just pointing out that I didn’t think your suggestion applied here.

All of us Reddit refugees are trying to figure out the nuances. I appreciate your comment because it taught me something new.

it's worth mentioning that changing your language setting may not have an immediate effect. it could take a but for the server to update, especially considering that it's under a very heavy load right now.

But again, that’s if you are viewing the community via the server you are subscribed to. For me, that would be https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] for the community and https://sh.itjust.works/post/8299 for the direct link. I just see 5 posts, which is less than either the original or the server OP is on.

My language settings shouldn’t matter when viewing servers I’m not logged in with. I do have both English and Undefined checked and only see 5 posts on that thread in sh.itjust.works.
