Pretty much any post on Lemmy is missing comments and they never show up no matter what I do. Sometimes I can fidget with the sorting, clicking “New” and “chat” and one or two may show up, but not all. I am guaranteed if a thread has X comments, only a fraction of those are visible to me. It sucks to see on one of my posts that I have 10 comments, but can only see 3, for example.
Also, sometimes I get a reply from someone that I can read in my inbox, but when I click to go to the original thread, it’s not there.
I really like Lemmy, but this annoys the hell out of me and I don’t understand why it is happening.
Edit: To clarify, I am using the Lemmy.World default web interface in the LibreWolf browser.

@NiaTheCat found the fix. Turns out that I didn’t have English selected as a second language. All I had selected in my profile settings was “undetermined.”
Also, no, this was happening in pretty much every thread and I only have one community blocked in my profile. However, it’s fixed now and I’m very happy!
