Yeah, but not even any of your comments show up. No one who replied after a certain point has any visible comments.

It's possible they prune and optimise some content. Things rising to the top is semi curated for example. If the cache is broke then it will show a version frozen from an hour ago with no comments showing up.

You notice the cache sometimes because new comments will take a while to be added to the public view. It's also possible they sometimes buffer comments for approval first to pre-moderate but I doubt they really do that much.

However there is some oddness in this case. It might be a bug. Perhaps ask the mods. In one of the comments the context appears to jump to the wrong parent node and a different comment thread.

I would speculate that if the thread was getting bombed with some over the top stuff that it either triggered or was put into some kind of safe mode. Probably not though. Best way really would be to ask.

Definitely something up, it says 33 comments but only 21 are visible half a day later so something fucky happened. I'm not gonna ask the mods, they'd either lie if they were hiding comments, ignore me, or just blame it on some broken thing which I don't believe with a total 12 comments having been hidden.

I sometimes wonder if I'm in some kind of quarantine because sometimes I go insane.

If there is some manual intervention or mode I would posit it's post specific because the post is rising rapidly over the threshold from the rising bucket to the hot bucket.

A bad cache implementation could keep a stale view if it is treating TTL badly and refreshing each hit on high traffic so it never renews. I doubt it though.
