I figured it out. I have the community blocked. Lemmy is dumb sometimes. Why it will happily show me the post via a direct link, but not any of the comments is beyond me! Not even that comment I specifically requested. Makes no sense. It should show both the post and comments, or neither, and not this in-between, confusing state.

I wish I could say this was the first time this exact issue has happened to me.

Original post:


I’m using 0.7.0-1, and I clicked a post that had this link and Thunder said there were no comments, yet the website itself shows several.

The link is to a specific comment.

Incidentally, after submitting this post, I tapped the eyeball to view it and nothing happened.

    It’s not exactly what you’re asking, but you can view the post as a different user, which would presumably have a different blocklist, so then you could see the comments.

    I like the idea of being able to view anonymously, too, from your configured anonymous accounts. The infrastructure is there in the post to “view as…” so that might not be too hard to add.

    Maybe some day I’ll learn how to contribute to Thunder myself.

    That would be awesome!

      That’s cool! I didn’t even realize that function was there. I could also use the Share feature to open the page in a web browser.
