Lately, I have come across posts on the voyager app, showing "x more replies", but clicking on either the text or the arrow on the right will not expand or show those comments. Is this a bug?

Edit: I appreciate everyone's reply, I didn't have any users blocked, though. It turns out, exporting my user settings from my old instance didn't include the language selection, hiding posts declared as being "English".

This happens when you have blocked the person. Happens to me too sometimes and then I check through a private browser tab and notice the person who commented was someone I blocked.

    It's probably someone you blocked. If they're the only reply and everyone responds to them, it'll show that until someone you haven't blocked replies.

    Then you'll just see the reply.

    You can try by signing out, you'll see all the replies that way

    Either you blocked someone, or your language settings are incorrect. Lemmy’s language settings really suck.

    Thank you. This was it. Apparently, when I exported my user settings from my old instance to my new one, the Json file didn't include my language settings - English was de-selected.

    Re-selecting english in my profile settings makes the replies visible.

    That mostly happens when someone deletes a comment that someone replied to i think. Although, this specific link works fine for me in Voyager.

    I'm sorry for replying to an old post, but I'm having this same problem. My account was new and this didn't happen with Voyager initially. It. Seemed to happen suddenly without changing anything. I can usually see a main comment, maybe one or two replies to it, if that, and then some number of replies I can't expand.

    I'd assume it could be an instance blocking thing except it's inconsistent. One user from lemmy.world will be seen, I'll reply to it, and responses from them and others may be hidden. I've checked my settings and even unblocked the couple of users and instances I had blocked.
