Missing Replies when using a Piefed instance

9d 18h ago by piefed.world/u/linsenchip in boostforlemmy

First of all, I want to thank you for developing this app and for the ongoing support.

When switching to Piefed recently I noticed that, for some posts, Boost only shows a very small subset of the actual replies. I have attached an example where this discrepancy is pretty obvious. To my knowledge, this does not occur when using a Lemmy instance.

Here is the link to the example post on piefed.world: Link

When opened in Boost, only 3 "top-level" replies are shown and the number of nested replies also only sums up to 10.

When viewing the post on the piefed.world web interface, however, logged in with the same account, many more replies are shown.

I tried removing all blocks/mutes in the settings of the app, but the problem persists.

Post replies shown with Boost. Here the actual number of replies does not match with the actual amount

The same post, viewed on the web interface of piefed.world. Here, there are a lot more comments

I've noticed this too. At first, I thought that maybe it was just because I had some instances blocked and others were defederated on my instance. But I've noticed it happening with a lot of comments, sometimes hundreds, which doesn't seem right..
