At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it’s the communities I’m commenting on?

    comments are hidden on some posts I’ve seen, like it says there are 8 but I see 2.

    Lemmy has bug in counting too. Comments are often missing because of replication issues between servers. But the most common issue I’v seen with inflated comment numbers is edits being counted as new comments.

      Ooooh that makes sense. I’ve probably contributed to that, dealing with typos. Hope I haven’t been confusing anybody (else)…
