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

submitted 1 year ago by Rambler@lemm.ee to c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

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

And also in this case it's maybe due to the comment coming from another instance and it's not sync yet

That is probably atomic, would be very weird if it's not.

What is 'atomic' ?

All updates are done at once, and there is no state where partial information is available.

So that means you can never end up in a state where the system knows there are more comments but can't load them. Either they are available or they aren't.

Nicely put. Thanks for clearing that up.
