What is the +3 next to the comment count?

I’ve seen this recently and have been wondering. My guess was that I’ve upvoted this user three other times but that’s probably way off.

It’s new comments

Thanks!

No problem. Glad I could help!

I think it means there have been 3 new comments either since your upvote or your last viewing of the post.

New comments since the last time you were in that thread

That’s an awesome feature!

I found this confusing (as did the op). Maybe instead of using the plus icon and making it stand out, it could just be 41 (3 new).

3 new comments?
