The Lemmy code is so weird sometimes.

I recently blocked asklemmy because I get annoyed by all the stupid hypothetical questions. If I click this link, I can see the post, but I can't see any of the comments.

I don't want that community in my "all" feed, but if I click on an unknown link and can see the post, why can't I also see the comments? Seems like a strange disconnect.

I wonder if it could be your client instead of lemmy itself

I had the same thought. I'll have to try the website while logged in to see what it does.

Actually, no. The API is happily returning a post from a blocked community when I specifically ask for it. It should also return comments when I specifically ask for them. Or not return either. It shouldn't behave two different ways.
