It seems to be a similar issue to this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/106?scrollToComments=true
I see the docs say I need to search for every comment…??? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html
But that doesn’t appear to be how it works on other posts.
If you open a post and people replied to that post there are comments. They didn’t necessarily reply to you.
ohh. you will not get notifications for those. or I don’t using Photon anyway. you only get notifications on comments posted to your posts, replies to your comments, or direct messages
