It's getting really frustrating, almost every post has missing comments. What causes this?

EDIT: I needed to select both "English" and "Undetermined" in my language settings

Most common cause is people changing their language settings in their profile. It's a daily occurrence. The app really needs to tell people "25 messages not displayed because you are only viewing in Spanish".

I'm seeing everything. Even counted the comments. Did you untick Undetermined by chance?

Nope, also I can see this comment in my inbox but when I click through to it it's gone

Are the comments missing when you load the website?

I know this comment is tremendously late but I am having a similar issue while using sync. By website so you mean the official instance website(example - https://lemmy.one/ )

[–] peter@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it got fixed when I selected both English and unspecified as my language

[–] Sentau@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am sorry but it's seems you have misunderstood. Was your issue limited to only the sync app or was it occurring both on the app and the website

Ok. Thanks for the info. We seem to be encountering different issues then.

It's almost certainly your language settings

[–] peter@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Language is set to undetermined

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adding "English" to the language settings might help (you CTRL/CMD+Click to add another language to the list, from memory)

This worked, thanks. That's really obtuse
