edit - The problem seemed to be with lemmy.ml being overloaded. When I joined communities there, it didn’t immediately say joined, it said join pending. I had to wait a while, then leave and rejoin. Once I did this comments started to flow.

Created a lemmy instance. I can search for and subscribe to other communities (for example, this one). I can see posts from the other communities within my instance when I browse subscribed or all. But none of the posts have comments, they all show as 0, including if I open the post.

I can go direct to that instance and see the posts have comments.

Is this a configuration issue? Thank you -

Edit:

It seems the issue is only with comments on lemmy.ml. I subscribed to some communities at a few other instances and comments are arriving for those communities.

In my log, I see the following related to lemmy.ml comments:

No idea if this is an issue on my end or not. Any advice appreciated!

Edit - Unsure if related. The non-working lemmy.ml communities all show as “subscribe pending”. The other non lemmy.ml communities I’ve subscribed to that are working all shows as subscribed. I had googled subscribe pending earlier and found some recent posts saying this could be ignored, so I paid it no mind.

    Are the comments from before or after you subscribed? I don’t think past comments get backfilled the first time you subscribe, just past posts, but future comments should show up. If you paste the URL for a comment in the /search page on your instance it should show up too, if there’s something you want to reply to specifically.
