# Why Are Some Facebook Comments Missing Even When the Post Is Public?

I can open a public Facebook post, but the comment count is higher than the number of comments I can actually see. Sometimes switching between “Most relevant” and “All comments” changes what appears; other times, comments seem to be missing altogether.

Could this be caused by hidden comment filters, the post owner’s settings, or Facebook moderation? I’m curious what usually explains the difference between the comment count and the comments visible to a reader.
