It seems to be a similar issue to this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/106?scrollToComments=true

I see the docs say I need to search for every comment..??? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html

But that doesn't appear to be how it works on other posts.

Why would you see a reply that wasn't directed at you? I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. What did you expect to happen? And what happened instead?

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 1 points 5 days ago

I can only see comments that are replies. No other comments on posts show up even though I know they’re there.

How are comments different from replies?

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 5 days ago

If you open a post and people replied to that post there are comments. They didn’t necessarily reply to you.

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 5 days ago

ohh. you will not get notifications for those. or I don't using Photon anyway. you only get notifications on comments posted to your posts, replies to your comments, or direct messages

I’m not saying I don’t get notified. I’m saying they’re not on these posts at all from my instance. They haven’t federated.
