I’m seeing this happen more of late: the message ‘View more (1)’ appears in-between a thread (the number varies by the way), when I click to expand the comments a message ‘loading’ appears followed by ‘no comments added’. Why does it think there are more comments and why can it not retrieve and show them?

I’m using Sync for Lemmy.

    There are a lot of bugs related to comments on Lemmy right now

    And also in this case it’s maybe due to the comment coming from another instance and it’s not sync yet

      You’re correct. Even the ‘View more (1)’ does indeed bring back a comment from a user on another instance.

      I’m amazed how all this stuff even hangs together and talks to each other ! Truly impressive.

      Connect seems to handle these cross-conversations a lot better.

      Edit: typo

      That is probably atomic, would be very weird if it’s not.

          All updates are done at once, and there is no state where partial information is available.

          So that means you can never end up in a state where the system knows there are more comments but can’t load them. Either they are available or they aren’t.

    I keep seeing “view parent…” Everywhere but when I tap it it basically just refreshes and doesn’t show anything new.
