I have created a community, and made several posts. On one post, I see a comment, and have replied to it. That's the only comment I can see. However, now a friend of mine has joined my community and he can see lots of comments on many posts (he's sent me screenshots to prove it). I can't see any of the comments he can see.
He is on a different instance, (lemmy.world) but that doesn't seem to be the issue, because the one comment I can see is also from a user on lemmy.world, and the comments my friend can see are from both instances. There are even comments from users on sh.itjust.works that I can't see either.
What's going on? Why can't I see comments on my own community and how do I fix it?
If I can't resolve it, I will just have to close the community because it's pointless if I can't see or respond to anything that anyone else says.
And it's just occurred to me that I may not even see replies to this, if there are any. .. so I may never know the answer...
This probably has something to do with language settings. Make sure neither of you have deselected "undetermined" as a language option.
I haven't, but how can I check if the people leaving the comments have/haven't? And how can I get them to change it, if they have, if I can;t reply to them?
What about your community? Does it have a language setting?
I'm still trying to figure the details of the issue out too tbh. I've just found that if I can't reply to a comment it's usually fixed by setting it to english.
What comments do you see? Can you maybe send a screenshot so I'll know if I see the same ones?
Here's screenshots of your comments on the three threads:

The fault seems to be limited to certain threads... which are still showing zero comments for me, but maybe not newer ones?
I have no idea then. Have you tried messaging the admin?
I don't even know who the admins are here.
@TheDude
I've passed it along. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Thank you!
