@Wander I didn't tag @tech, so this comment only appeared on yiffit and not on pawb. Now that I've tagged it, it should federate the whole thread?

Yes, it seemingly does so. I wonder why pawb won't show the other two comments though.

Pawb is showing 2 comments from TerrorBite, but I can't confirm whether or not they were showing before you made the second one.

Weirdly, I can't seem to reply directly to Terrorbite's comment; I just get the spinner forever on hitting Reply.

There's also two other comments from lemmy.world users. I suspect both things are related.

The community has "undetermined" language disabled. That's why those comments don't show up and why you can't reply to terrorbite unless you set your comment's language to English

I can see the lemmy.world comments; that's good to know re: setting the language to English to reply, though.

Ah yes, they show up now. Regarding setting the language to English, this is not necessary if the creator of the community selects "Undetermined" language in the community settings. It is a bug, but it can be circumvented by having communities allow Undetermined language.
