A mobile client for Lemmy running on iOS and Android
I know there's a Lemmy bug where people editing their comment (not sure if it's every time, but often enough) makes the counter go up. So a thread with just one comment that was edited after posting will show as having two comments, if you see what I mean.
It's a bit annoying, not sure how high it is on the bugfix priority list though.
I see, was just a little curious. Would be a shame to miss comments, but this doesn't sound so bad though.
That makes sense. I noticed it doesn't show created vs edited time stamps. I had originally thought it was an issue with post/comment languages and user profile language filter settings.
On the website if you hover ago the "X minutes ago" text on a post or comment you do actually get both timestamps, so they're being saved somewhere and the backend should know it was an edit rather than a new post. But who knows how these things work. Certainly not me 🤷♀️
Editing bug. Before this comment, it says 3 comments but there are only 2.
The issue is inconsistent.
It could be defederated instances. They may be able to interact with the content, but if your instance has defederated them, you will not see it.
Perhaps you have bots turned off in your profile and the hidden comments are bot comments?
I never noticed before, but this post says it has 9 comments and I only see 8.
