New-ish Lemmy user here (a couple weeks), I’ve noticed some comments under posts are ‘lighter’ than other comments. What causes this?

    So they’re supposed to mark the new comments that we’re created less the 10 mins ago. I’m not sure why you’re seeing the other comment highlighted when it’s a few hours old, did you follow a link to that specific comment? If so, that comment will also be highlighted

            I didn’t, I just noticed that 3 hour-old comments were highlighted, while 4 hour-old comments weren’t (but I just saw a highlighted 4 hour-old comment and an unhighlighted 3 hour-old comment, so it might be something else).
