I can read full comments, but not some subs. Is there some a/b test going on?

When logged out they skew the comments and make it virtually impossible to follow a thread with a large number of comments

  Site works exactly the same logged in or logged out. Comments display the same?!? Does anyone have a screenshot of this issue?

    It is implemented in countries with less users only. To not piss off the majority in US/Uk.

        I've had a similar phenomena. I've hit the lock when directly opening a subreddit link, but when I added a search filter etc I could open it normally.

    I'm in the UK and the comments are all collapsed after a couple in each thread with "view more comments". The most ridiculous thing is that if you click the "read more" link, it doesn't even work properly, the behaviour is incredibly stupid.

  I never had an account on reddit, and I never had problems with browsing/expanding the comments too. I am not from either US/EU so by the looks of it and the input of others it might be more of a regional thing rather than a universal one thus the conflict of information in discussions.

I believe you can view subs and comments only when you are linked from the homepage.
