Why the API says a post doesn't have comments when the HTML page shows comments ?

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_=All added.)

      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.lu is configured to default to the Local view while lemmy.world defaults to All
