Ok, nevermind, I think I figured out what’s going on. And discovered another strange issue that may or may not need looking into if possible. Turns out, the comment I made was in a shitpost community that I used Memmy to block. So now it doesn’t just block the posts from that community from being shown in my all feed, it actually blocks any comments, and posts that were made in that community from being shown to me across all of wefwef. This…isn’t really what I expected the block feature to do. I’m not sure that I love that, but I guess it’s fine. I know when you blocked a subreddit on Apollo it only stopped posts from that sub from showing up in your feed, but you could still see comments when you clicked on people’s profiles. I would prefer that to be how this works, but I guess since I didn’t even block the community using wefwef, this is just a limitation of how blocking on Lemmy works as a whole? Interesting.

Without looking at the code for lemmy right now, it sounds like that's how the instances themselves handle blocking
I assume so too, it works the same way in Memmy.
Which, imo, is a big mistake. When I click on someone’s profile, especially mine, I want to see all the comments they’ve made, no matter if it’s in a blocked community or not.
