Comment chains not appearing.

Hey mlem folx! I’m using mlem on iOS.

I’m noticing that comment chains don’t always show up in the app. This happens one of two ways, from what I can tell:

  1. the top level comment appears as normal, and there is an icon for however many replies, but none of them appear unless I share and open it with a browser; or,
  2. I become eventually unable to see comments in comment chains, even if it’s a thread I am participating in.

I don’t know if this is a known thing or not, I admit I didn’t do too much looking through the history here. I hope it’s not a repost.

  • Yep, this is a known issue. When a comment chain gets too long, Lemmy doesn't send all of the comments in the initial API response. When this happens, the web UI displays a "show n more replies" button that can be tapped to load the remaining comments:

    We just haven't got around to adding this button to Mlem yet, but it's something we will certainly look into in future. We're tracking the issue here.

    Sorry I didn't see your comment until now; your post didn't federate to lemmy.ml properly for some reason so I only just saw it whilst using my alt account.
