4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Rather often, I see a post here with say 5 comments, but I only see one or two under the post. Why is this? Am I perhaps defederated from those posters' instance?

I saw it mentioned somewhere that when you see subscriber counts for a community those counts only reflect the amount of subscribers from your instance. At least that is the way I understood it. I know that's not related to comments but there seems to be some ways that the federation work that is not great. Could it be that the comments are from an instance that your instance has de-federated from?
