A comment I posted is missing from where I posted it, but I can’t find anything about it in modlogs. What’s this mean?
Your comment is there but it has been automatically minimized as it got many down votes. If you click the little double arrow icon it will maximize your comment and you’ll be able to see everything.
There is a cutoff point where the comment won’t be shown, even minimized. Everyone can set this cutoff point to whatever they want, at https://piefed.social/user/settings/filters in the “Reply hide threshold” field. That might be what stopped @blaze@piefed.zip from seeing your comment on piefed.zip - I don’t know what Blazes’ setting is for that but if it was -20 then he wouldn’t see your -25 comment.
Thank, i’m realizing that part is missing in the wiki. :)

Where is that button? Or has this changed since you replied due to fluctuating vote scores?
Edit: I was wrong, Rimu was right, see below
Actually, I double checked, and what happened on my side is that that thread was hidden as I block lemmynsfw.com instance
I opened the https://piefed.zip/c/linux/p/668679/debian-s-apt-will-soon-begin-requiring-rust-debian-ports-need-to-adapt-or-be-sunset#post_replies link in a private window and was able to see it
@rimu@piefed.social FYI
Interesting. Wonder what the issue is on my end then
Hm, actually I was wrong, I did not block lemmynsfw.com.
Your comment appears on Piefed.social on a private window
Ok, so I double checked my settings and indeed, there’s a difference between the threshold to collapsed and the one to minimize
I guess that if I setup my threshold lower (to -50 for instance) I would see your comment.
So yeah @rimu@piefed.social you were right from the beginning.
Edit: just edited to -50, I can indeed see the comment while being logged in:
Thanks for figuring it out 🔥
I can see your comment that you linked to, perhaps whatever was happening was fixed. It is minimized, however.
Thank you 🤙
In which post did you comment?
It’s a whole reply branch in “Debian’s APT Will Soon Begin Requiring Rust: Debian Ports Need To Adapt Or Be Sunset” on linux@programming.dev

Edit - adding screenshot because I’m not sure if this is showing up the same for me as for others
If i am not wrog, that post was made when piefed.social instance (possibly others too, but no idea) was having trouble. I saw many posts did not federate well (either don’t have comments or votes or both). cant say for sure if this is the reason, but this may have played a part (like they got a faulty copy of the post and comments, and now it does not update correctly)
IIRC Piefed.social was having issues last week, that post is from today
sorry i must be thinking of some other apt rust post i guess. I think i read that news around 4-5 days ago, and .social was having issues back then. I saw the post title roughly from the post url that you added in your comment so guessed it would be the same post.
Yeah something is off, I’m also missing your comment on Piefed.zip: https://piefed.zip/c/linux/p/668679/debian-s-apt-will-soon-begin-requiring-rust-debian-ports-need-to-adapt-or-be-sunset#post_replies
But on programming.dev it shows up correctly: https://programming.dev/post/40462816/20416554
Both links show 47 comments, so it seems like something is off
@rimu@piefed.social maybe ?
Does the link I posted in my other reply show as blank for you guys?
I tried to mirror what I’m seeing with archive.org but it shows the whole missing reply chain while I still just get a blank space https://web.archive.org/web/20251109171211/https://piefed.social/post/1458050/comment/8784509#replies
