Next to the comment counter, I can’t seem to figure out what the bracketed number indicates. For a second I thought it meant new comments, but I’ve seen some posts that have 2 (+2) and when I open it, it still only has 2 comments.

    Maybe, but come to think of it, it doesn’t occur on all posts so if they’re new comments then why don’t they appear on every post

    Edit: oh I’m dumb. It’s on posts I’ve looked at. So they’re new comments since I’ve seen the post (I think)

      It would only show on posts you have previously looked at. So in the 2 (+2) scenario, you previously saw the post when there were no comments, now there are two.
