Why the API says a post doesn't have comments when the HTML page shows comments ? (jlai.lu)

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

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

i'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that jlai.lu is configured to default to the Local view while lemmy.world defaults to All

Interesting, thanks !
