SOLVED: My language selection was on “undetermined”. This excluded all the posts and users who had selected “english”. I was playing around with the settings and DELETED ALL language preferences. That allowed all the posts and comments to appear again.

No way really? That’s weird! I can’t see 90% of the comments on almost any other instances, like .world and .ml.

I’ll check.

So I don’t seem to have any issues with posts made on lemmy.ca, my local instance. It’s elsewhere, like Lemmy.world where I can’t see majority of comments. For instance, this post has 40 comments but I only see 5.

yes that’s always been my preferred languages

It’s been that way for me ever since I came on Lemmy. I figured bugs or something so I have waited for months but just thought I’d ask.

This is quite rich for China to ask while constantly complaining about being victimized by Japan during WWII while not a peep has come out of them about the shaming they suffered during Opium wars when western nations effectively carved up China to spheres of influence. Not to mention the seizing of neighbor’s islands and territories through force while proclaiming it as theirs because an insane Chinese monarch once sent out a bunch of rickety boats into the seas centuries ago. I suggest Chinese tidy up their over-all diplomatic messaging and strategy first.
