3 comments on a post, but Lemmy says there are 5 (lemmy.world)

If you visit https://lemmy.world/post/1181467?scrollToComments=true and check the post, the tiny comment icon under the post says that there are 5 comments. Checking the post however, you can see that there are only 3.

Is this some Lemmy bug, or does Lemmy shadow-remove comments like Reddit?

I see this a lot. Probably has to do with how the instances communicate. I deleted a post on Lemmy World and thought it was gone. Logged in on another instance and it was there. I could even reply if I wanted to and it was still getting upvotes. That's confusing.

Maybe it takes time to populate across instances? I could maybe see that being an issue

Could be. I try to plan ahead to avoid deletion since on Lemmy the post just gets a deleted stamp on it (the text may or may not be deleted so I always edit out the comment before deleting) and your username remains, leaving people curious.
