Phantom unseen replies
Hi, I see "phantom" replies here and there. In threads list I see a thread that is replied while there are no answers inside the thread.
I saw this in several threads last days, here the latest one: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/do-e-commerce-backend-apis-need-a-lot-more-work-than-a-clone-of-twitter-or-stackoverflowcom-in-terms-for-portfolio-projects
I see a thread is answered by @JussiMannisto: 
I go inside to see the answer and don't see any replies at all:

Yeah, I can't see my own reply, so I probably replied twice 😅
But I've found posting on this forum to be buggy ever since I started a few months ago. I keep getting errors like "incorrect captcha" and then I have to refresh the page and retry 3-4 times before it works.

This time my own reply is not seen in a thread :( But it is seen in my profile.
I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but all unseen replies I observed are quite large (and therefore take some time to write). Some token expires while writing?..

Is this the reply that's not showing up for you?
I can see it. If it didn't show up for your originally, there must be a caching issue.

Posts seem to sometimes not show up in threads despite showing up in the social feed. Then they may show up much later.
Likes also seem to have similar issues. I liked this post from Snapey, but I don't see it on the thread:
But my profile shows the like:

Right now I can see it too. But at that moment it wasn't seen, for sure. I checked and double checked from another computer.
There are a couple of threads in Feedback telling about the same problem: users don't see their recent replies in threads while replies counter increments and replies are seen in user profiles.

Even in this thread a reply from @hectorfoster 40 minutes ago is not seen while it can be seen in his profile and my notifications pane.

Yeah, it's definitely cache-related. Something Redis related. We migrated to Laravel VPS recently, and I'm pretty sure it's related. Working on it now!
@hectorfoster's post wasn't visible because it was spam.

I could post here other cases I notice, if it helps. Should I?

This is still going on.
Most frustratingly when you reply to a post and cannot see or edit the reply you created.

It seems the problem is back again. I don't see two last replies here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/servers/low-specs-vps-how-low-can-you-go
In thread list I see the thread has 3 replies (@snapey 's is the last one and it can be seen in his profile) , while inside the thread I see only one reply.

yes, post by me 5 minutes ago does not show despite my name in the last response on the index.
