On my lemmy.ml instance, most of the comments on my posts get hidden. I can see them from my notifications but not the actual posts. However I can perfectly see all of them on other instances like lemmy.world. Is this normal?

Sorry for the confusing post. I mean the comments of other people on posts I make AND on posts others make. it doesn't show the comments on the web version and the phone version (I use Jerboa and Sync). And weirdly enough, it does show the comments on incognito but I selected "undetermined" so it shouldn't block comments or other content.
That means it is tied to your login, something is set in your preferences so that you aren't seeing content.
Picking "undetermined" isn't the same as having never touched it. There is a steady stream of people who accidentally touch the language settings and say they don't see anything.
People have called out how confusing the whole thing is: https://lemmy.world/post/523012
Sorry I can't be specific on how to click and what works, I just know you aren't the first to get their account where it stops showing routine content.
I did what the post says, clicked on almost every language. Works now!
cool. I'm in the camp that the feature causes more problems than is useful. Entirely hiding posts of another language would not be my choice, it should at least say "there are 5 comments you do not see because of your language preferences".
agreed
