How can I see all comments in a thread? (beehaw.org)

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question I'm sure you're having to answer all kinds of ridiculous things with the influx of us newbies.

I'm finding that often I can't actually see most of the discussion in a thread while logged into my account. I'll see a thread with no comments, and be able to reply to it normally, but if I view that same thread in incognito mode suddenly I see all the other comments that are apparently invisible to me while logged in.

On Mastodon there are sometimes similar issues that can be got around by following users or searching specific toot URLs to help federate, but I have no idea what the equivalent action is on Lemmy.

Any pointers very welcome, thanks!

Just realized I had the same problem and found this thread. Feels like there should be something more obvious to point it out than just a number for the number of comments in a thread, and then not seeing that many comments.

Maybe two numbers, one for the total comments, one for the ones you can see with your current settings.
