Unable to expand comment - sh.itjust.works

I’m unable to expand the reply at the bottom of this conversation and it’s unclear why. Tapping it shows the spinner to indicate it’s trying, but then nothing. This behaviour occurs on iOS and Firefox on desktop. Any ideas? https://wefwef.app/profile/sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] [/c/[email protected]]/comments/2352604 [https://wefwef.app/profile/sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]/comments/2352604]

Mom, I’m on TV! I mean Lemmy!
If it helps, since I created the post, for me it shows only 4 comments. So I have no idea why it would try to show more replies.
This is definitely a Lemmy bug. We use child_count to determine if there are unloaded comments, but child_count is incorrect in this case. (says 3 children, only 2 returned)
I remember this happening on Reddit with Apollo as well, and Apollo would show a message explaining why no more comments loaded.
it seems to happen with deleted comments
