It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The comments are something else, too.
Did you know that calling out bootlicking makes you effeminate, bucko? 
Same.
Don't matter. We know our comments will have 60-100 upbears and some comrade will show up and reply for us by morning.
I also can't drill down in comment threads on that post :(

I actually had this symptom too, and I was like, "that's weird". Then I noticed it's the memes comm on lemmy.ml, which I blocked with great prejudice the first day of federation, so I'm like "I wonder if that has anything to do with it". And yup! That's the answer! If you unblock the memes comm, suddenly you can see the whole of comment threads. I wouldn't be surprised if this is also the "solution" to replies not showing up in your inbox. (I put "solution" in quotes because unblocking the memes comm seems like a terrible plan and not at all worth it just to argue with some libs)
Ohhhh you're spot on, I blocked all the meme comms lol
Yup. I 100% blocked the meme comm. Lol
If I understand correctly, you can't see certain comments unless you unblock a community? If so, that sounds like a bug.
That seems to be the case, yes. Expanding comment threads in communities I've blocked doesn't seem to work.
Is this only affecting comments in the blocked commumity? Or is it affecting comments in non blocked communities?
Only blocked communities. It works fine if I unblock them.
I think I've had similar issues with not being able to expand when even one person in the thread was blocked.
