Next to the comment counter, I can’t seem to figure out what the bracketed number indicates. For a second I thought it meant new comments, but I’ve seen some posts that have 2 (+2) and when I open it, it still only has 2 comments.

    Wouldn’t 2 (+2) mean there are two posts, and both of them are new?

      Maybe, but come to think of it, it doesn’t occur on all posts so if they’re new comments then why don’t they appear on every post

      Edit: oh I’m dumb. It’s on posts I’ve looked at. So they’re new comments since I’ve seen the post (I think)

        It would only show on posts you have previously looked at. So in the 2 (+2) scenario, you previously saw the post when there were no comments, now there are two.
