Do you know why this happens? I don’t see that comment you quoted, I only see the reply to it as a root level comment. I’ve been noticing this all over the place, where a top level comment is clearly replying to something I cannot see.
I would also like to know. I see this happen on every other post and can’t understand it.
Apparently lemmy 0.19 has some federation issues. I know .world hasn't migrated yet, but maybe their instance has.
The user is posting from lemmy.world so maybe it’s an 0.18–>0.19 thing
I have noticed this same issue for a while now. Just checked my user block list and the true top level commenter, metallic_substance, is not on my list…i dont actually have that many users on my block list, so i didnt think that was ever the issue. But, not knowing WTF most of the comments are about is really annoying.
I haven’t blocked anyone yet so it’s definitely not that but it’s like every thread send to be missing comments without even telling me it’s missing comments so I have to deduce it from the missing context. It’s infuriating. It’s making this platform very irritating to use
Are you using a specific app? On iphone, I see this behavior on the Memmy app, but not on Voyager.
That’s a good point. I’m using Memmy on iOS, but havent tried anything else. I’ve been meaning to try something else cause there’s a few other things on Memmy that bug me, so i’ll probly give Voyager a shot. I figured it was an end-client issue, so that must be the common thing, especially if jackoneill confirms Memmy as well. Once he gets back from his Startgate mission, of course.
Yeah that’s gotta be it, I’m using memmy on iOS as well. Sounds like it’s time to give voyager a try. Thanks!
Did you block @metallic_[email protected]? That would do it.
