Hi,
This post has comments : https://jlai.lu/post/26123233
But when asking the API : https://jlai.lu/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=26123233&sort=Old
An empty array is returned.
Why ?
Thanks
Looking at the network tab while loading a thread, I see you need to include
type_=All.(lemmy-ui sends other parameters too but your example URL works for me with just
tyoe_=Alladded.)Thanks.
Now, why isn’t that required for an older post ?
For example : https://lemmy.world/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=5&sort=Old
Read the API docs for what type means: https://join-lemmy.org/lemmy-js-client-docs/v0.19/classes/LemmyHttp.html#getComments
i’m guessing it might have something to do with the fact that
jlai.luis configured to default to theLocalview whilelemmy.worlddefaults toAllInteresting, thanks !
Is this why I don’t see a lot of comments on Voyager, and what’s the fix there?
It might be, yes : https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/blob/main/src/routes/pages/shared/CommentsPage.tsx#L41
As mentioned by @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml, the solution is to add
type_=Allin query parameters.From the Voyager app’s source code, it seems like the value is
undefinedby default.I think replacing this by
Allcould fix the issue. But, I have no experience in that app’s dev stack, so I can’t be sure.Therefore, I’d suggest submitting a GitHub issue showing 2 screenshots : of the same post, one on Voyager, the other one on another app, where the former shows less comments than the latter. Indicate that replacing
undefinedwithAllmight fix the issue.If the maintainer(s) reproduce and confirm, they’ll push the fix.
If I was more confident, I’d directly make a PR, but I’m not.
