Why do 'View more ()' comments dissappear when I click them ?

I'm seeing this happen more of late: the message 'View more (1)' appears in-between a thread (the number varies by the way), when I click to expand the comments a message 'loading' appears followed by 'no comments added'. Why does it think there are more comments and why can it not retrieve and show them?

I'm using Sync for Lemmy.

There are a lot of bugs related to comments on Lemmy right now

And also in this case it's maybe due to the comment coming from another instance and it's not sync yet
- You're correct. Even the 'View more (1)' does indeed bring back a comment from a user on another instance.
  
  I'm amazed how all this stuff even hangs together and talks to each other ! Truly impressive.
  
  Connect seems to handle these cross-conversations a lot better.
  
  Edit: typo

  That is probably atomic, would be very weird if it's not.
  
  What is 'atomic' ?
I keep seeing "view parent..." Everywhere but when I tap it it basically just refreshes and doesn't show anything new.
I was wondering the same thing
Comment sorting is a bit busted, Hot seems to work best atm.
