In the screenshot I’ve included, you can see that the number of comments for the post is 20+. However, I only see 2 comments when I look at the post.

Is this just a byproduct of federation? I don’t think I’ve blocked any instances yet, but is it possible the comments are from instances blocked my lemmy.world? Also, I use Memmy on iOS; could that be the cause?

Appreciate any insight!

    This should be removed. We should encourage people from any country/language being able to communicate with eachother and make inline translations easy to setup vs hiding comments

      Remove an option? Its by definition optional, and inline translation services are pretty bad usually so a lot of users might not want to use them

        Its actively causing bad user experiences because it’s confusing and also hard to know that it’s causing the issue
