Hey everyone.

Does anyone else have the same issue with the comments not being displayed properly? For lots of comments it shows the "view parent" link which just links to the main post again. It's impossible to see the actual parent comment.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

I think it has something to do with the language settings, for example I couldn't see the comments on this thread, I logged in via the web version changed my settings to include Undetermined, English and my native language and now I can see the comments (both using the web app and Sync).

Hope that helps :)

PS: And in order to post this comment, I had to select explicitly that it is written in English...

PS2: Setting the language settigns also resolves the issue that OP reported initially.

I just checked web portal and only had undetermined selected. Now added English and it started working. So I guess Lemmy bugs out if someone posts a comment marked as English but you haven't included english in your own list.

Seems like weird behavior to implement.
