Comment are not disappearing, they are not shown. Those are comments that were written on another platform than PalNET. As such is is not specifically a PalNet-problem, it is a characteristic of al Nitrous frontends: they only show posts ánd comments specific for the frontend. A comment written on PalNET will not be visible on SteemLEO or on of the (by now) many other frontsends. The only place where you see them al is on Steemit. However, any comment entered on Steemit.com won't appear on PalNET/SteemLEo/etcetcetc.
One should be able to tag comments as well. Or the frontsends shouldn't be picky about the comments shown. As it is now, it is a bit of a nuisance.
The idea behind the posts and tags is sound I think: just shoe on the specific frontend what is meant for the specific front end. Comments, however, should be shown all, otherwise it is really hard to follow a comment trail.
Other than that: I am a great fan of PalNET. The ability to create communities for specific topics or areas is in my opinion a great advantage. Palnet is not specifically geared towards one topic, it is geared towards a certain attitude in posting, reading and commenting. The motto is "no nocere" which translates (rather freely) as "do no harm". You can post about anything you're interested in. You can comment whatever you like. As long as it is done civilized and respectfully. I like that.
Correction: as others have said: all comments are indeed shown. Only the 'root-comments' are counted however. I posted my comment on steemit.com and it is shown here on palnet as well
Hi @partitura
I also just realized that only "counter" is not working fine. That's a relief. I'm really hoping for PALnet to be succesful.

Dear @partitura
I very much appreciate your comment. Seriously thx big time for your effort.
Very true. Thank you for correcting me.
So I kind of figured already out, that "disappearing comments" have something to do with PALnet userbase. I'm not sure what's the advantage of this solution. Right now I'm trying to use PALnet.io to engage with people.
However all I have learned is that once I reply to everyone, I still need to visit my own profile via any other front-end (most likely Steemit) to spot those comments I didn't have a chance to read and reply yet.
Other people are in very similar position and my impression is, that most will stop using palnet.io sooner than later.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I strongly believe that this is what will take place. It seem that most front-ends are not seeing that they are forcing traffic out of their own sites.
ps.
I noticed that you invested strongly in PALnet and you're one of largest stakeholders. Are you perhaps part of their team?

No, I'm not part of their team. I'm just an enthousiastic early user... 😀

It's me again @partitura
I already realized that all comments are visible. Just counter is misleading on PALnet and it doesn't really count all comments.
