I thought for the last few months that my comments were just being removed, but I logged into Lemmy.world just through Safari today and found all my “missing” comments.
Currently, in the Voyager app, I can see a comment made 2 months ago, but any other more recent comments do not display in my profile for more than a few days. This is problematic because I comment often to return to posts with links I’d like share, or just revisit the conversation. I’ve actually stopped using Voyager and visiting these instances much because I figured I was doing something wrong and having comments removed without notice.
Now that I’ve found that this appears to be Voyager-specific, I’m curious what settings are causing this or if this is a bug.
Ah! This is very likely it. I can see all my past comments if I tap on the Comments link. I guess the other comments that fall off are less than >50, so maybe there’s some cutoff.
Devs: If we could tweak that, I know that I would appreciate it.
