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.

Sorry, I posted an edit above. I’ll copy/paste it so you won’t miss it: It appears if I visit that thread in a browser that I’ve never logged in to, in this case a Chrome guest session, all the comments show up. They then disappear except for the 3 I can see when I actually sign in, lol! WTH! If I then logout, all the comments are visible again!
No, I only have the “Hot Indian Actresses” community blocked since it is a technically SFW community, but I don’t want sexy pictures like that showing up while at work.
