The Lemmy code is so weird sometimes.
I recently blocked asklemmy because I get annoyed by all the stupid hypothetical questions. If I click this link, I can see the post, but I can’t see any of the comments.
I don’t want that community in my “all” feed, but if I click on an unknown link and can see the post, why can’t I also see the comments? Seems like a strange disconnect.
I wonder if it could be your client instead of lemmy itself
I had the same thought. I’ll have to try the website while logged in to see what it does.
Actually, no. The API is happily returning a post from a blocked community when I specifically ask for it. It should also return comments when I specifically ask for them. Or not return either. It shouldn’t behave two different ways.
This is a great explanation. Thinking of the question @ad_on_is@lemm.ee asked the other day of How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?, this is the sort of post that is good to share and draw people in to Lemmy.
