I actually had this symptom too, and I was like, "that's weird". Then I noticed it's the memes comm on lemmy.ml, which I blocked with great prejudice the first day of federation, so I'm like "I wonder if that has anything to do with it". And yup! That's the answer! If you unblock the memes comm, suddenly you can see the whole of comment threads. I wouldn't be surprised if this is also the "solution" to replies not showing up in your inbox. (I put "solution" in quotes because unblocking the memes comm seems like a terrible plan and not at all worth it just to argue with some libs)
my comment there doesn't display on my profile this is clearly some kind of anti brigading measure
Same.
Don't matter. We know our comments will have 60-100 upbears and some comrade will show up and reply for us by morning.
I also can't drill down in comment threads on that post :(

Ohhhh you're spot on, I blocked all the meme comms lol
If I understand correctly, you can't see certain comments unless you unblock a community? If so, that sounds like a bug.
That seems to be the case, yes. Expanding comment threads in communities I've blocked doesn't seem to work.
Is this only affecting comments in the blocked commumity? Or is it affecting comments in non blocked communities?
Only blocked communities. It works fine if I unblock them.
I think I've had similar issues with not being able to expand when even one person in the thread was blocked.
Yup. I 100% blocked the meme comm. Lol
