    Confirmed. What really set me off is that the comment counter I see currently sits at 25, but checking now, those are ‘imported’ comments seemingly coming from “Fediverse memes@feddit.uk.”

    Going through my blocked /c list, that particular one doesn’t seem to be blocked, but I do have a lot of meme communities indeed blocked. I think then, that’s likely what happened. I got tripped up by thinking in the ‘block post’ mindset, unintendingly blocking comments I otherwise wanted to see.

    Okay, I think mystery solved. Thanks for your feedback on that!

        The community was (very likely) blocked that produced a bunch of the tallied comments here, that’s all. Blocked in my personal settings.

        So now the comment counter sits at 37, and I can see many more of them that were later produced in this version of the thread, but still not from Fediverse memes@feddit.uk. I think what caused that is that the post probably originated there, then was cross-posted here. But PieFed (and maybe Lemmy) evidently has a feature which pulls in comments from places where a single thread was cross-posted, leading to the root of this issue.

        Make sense?
