Missing comments - how does it work?

Back when Boomer humor was at least a little anti rich/elite

IMO, the average person not embracing the fediverse has much less to do with any flaws in the fediverse (these do exist, don't get me wrong) and much more to do with inertia, the network effect, and just lack of knowledge or fucks to give about privacy and open platforms.

It’s also probably hugely impacted by a lack of advertisement and corporate backing. That’s just the way it goes.

Same as befire you have to take that into consideration only if you want. Probably you never cared at all when you signed to a new app in big corporation and just gave away all your data but now that there are options suddenly everyone cares and it's annoying.

This are important topics, it was time to take them seriously. This is precisely why federation is important - the instances and users can moderate not only a single organism that has absolute control.

Referencing Matrix when he says "why do my eyes hurt" just after waking for Matrix... It's the same here: we will all get use to have more freedom of choice, now it seems more complicated because we never had that freedom and never worried about a lot of topics that are important.

I got this via fax machine.

I tried looking at the post you linked on the Lemmy.world instance however I used an app. I was able to see each individual post. What this tells me is this is a purely frontend issue as the back end is capable of serving the entire comment section.

See the screenshot below (taken while in the Lemmy.world instance)

Thank you for checking. That is weird. Your screen shot is exactly what I would expect / like to see when a user is blocked and has their comments removed. Neither voyager nor the web interface for world shows that. What app are you using?

[idunnololz@lemmy.world]

I'm using Summit for Lemmy.

Hmm I just checked the lemmy.world website and I can see the entire comment chain there as well. Link: https://lemmy.world/post/24942544

Yet the top level is the one shitting down.

[docus@lemmy.world]

Shame that isn’t on ios

[pls@lemmy.plaureano.nohost.me]

You know you can host your own instance, with your rules, and every like-minded individual can join you (either locally or exchanging federated content with your instance).

That is what I did, btw, not because of “moderation” related issues, but because I don’t want to freeload on someone’s resources.

To be honest I don’t get what your problem is. This is not criticism; I just have no idea.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

didnt know gramps was on lemmy!

[docus@lemmy.world]

Yes, i know i can host my own instance. But I don’t think that should be necessary. My ‘problem’ is that a single post is looking different on each of the instances I signed up to, and the community in question is not on any of those instances. That is confusing me. I get that any instance can block other instances, or specific communities on other instances, and that’s a good thing. But selective federation at the level of posts or comments is an extra complication in the user experience i wasn’t aware of.
