I’ve been browsing communities in other instances, and I noticed that sometimes not all comments show up when viewing from different instances.

For example, this post on !food@beehaw.org shows having 17 comments when viewed on beehaw, but only 6 when viewed from lemmy.one:

Here are the links to the post:

Beehaw link

lemmy.one link

Is this just a quirk of how federation works or is it specifically a problem on my end?

    Very interesting, hoping someone will see your post here and have some good insight… I too would not like it if we don’t see comments from blocked instances, feel like not seeing the whole picture when reading comments… But the one you pointed out does seem different, hopefully over time, things smooth out over here, and all comments will show no matter which instance you are coming from
