Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Sometimes federation takes a bit, especially from some of the instances that go down more like feddit.de

I can see the comment on the thread you linked when checking it now https://programming.dev/comment/9725576

    Oh, maybe that's why sometimes there are more comments counted but they don't display. So, in theory, if I find a post where that's the case and then visit it after it's been dormant for a while, I'd see the formerly-missing comments. I'm going to test that. I hope that's the source.
