If anyone is wondering, I tried rolling back the website frontend (on a test server) to see if it would solve the issue with "Show context". It didn't solve the issue, it seems to be a change on the server side that's conflicting with the front end, as apps don't seem to be affected.
I recognise not everyone is technical so I'll try to explain some key concepts.
The website that you access and the server that works out what content to show are two separate things. When you access the website, it sends requests to the server for what content to show.
When you use an app, the app sends requests directly to the server similar to how the website does. Therefore issues on the website don't necessarily show up in apps, because the app doesn't go through the website.
I'm happy to explain other parts if anyone wants me to.
Ohhh I was wondering why the context function didn't seem to be working.
Yeah, it's an issue with the latest Lemmy version. We had a bit of a chat about it in the Lemmy.nz Matrix chat room. Seems to be that the database optimisations have caused comments to come in a different order than the website side is expecting, so I guess it fails to contruct them on the page.
Unfortunately rolling back the server probably isn't possible, because of the database changes. At the very least it's risky. Might be better to use an app, or another frontend like old.lemmy.nz or voyager.lemmy.nz as hopefully they aren't affected.
I'm closely monitoring the bug report waiting for the fix, but it seems at the moment every release it's two steps forward, one step back.
Link to the chat room ? I’d love to be a fly in the wall
Here's the post about it. It's linked on the home page (both at the top and in the side bar, but not in the community side bar so you won't see it from this post).
