I just noticed it on this post: https://lemmy.world/post/7295325?scrollToComments=true
The post says there are 4 comments. When I click on the post, I only see 2 comments (the toggle is set to “Hot”). If I click the “Chat” option I see all 4 comments.
Is this happening to anyone else?
It looks like the two missing comments are replying to a deleted comment – you can see this clearly from kbin.social here: https://kbin.social/m/thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world/t/567779/St-Louis-cop-who-shot-up-a-kids-trick-or-treating-event
Maybe there’s a bug with how Lemmy handles threads involving deleted comments?
Edit: There’s an issue open about this bug already – https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2133
That must be the issue. Thanks!!
Maybe the chat option doesn’t respect filters in the settings (like hiding bot accounts or your specified language)?
I don’t think I have any settings that would filter out those comments tho…

Yeah I also had that problem when I first joined Lemmy and did the same thing to fix it. Thanks though!
Might be worth noting that if I click “New”, “Hot”, or “Top” I see the same 2 comments. “Old” shows me zero comments. “Chat” auto-selects “New” and flattens out the comment hierarchy showing all 4 comments.
