Another commenter advised that I add “English” along with “Undetermined” in the language settings for Lemmy. That seems to have done the trick!

I followed a suggestion from another commenter here and added English to my language settings a long with “Undetermined”. That fixed it!
I think this was the trick! Changed language setting so that “Undetermined” and “English” and comments in this very post appeared that weren’t there before! Thanks so much!
Just did this and your comment appeared in my notifications only after doing so! Looks like I’m good now. 😎
Hmmm. I have blocked two users and two NSFW communities. Hard to imagine that low amount of blocking could be the cause for only seeing 2 out of 20 comments on a given post, but maybe?
Just checked, I left the setting as “Undetermined” as it warns that changing the language will make certain content unavailable.

Young Chinese, who had always been told that the hard work they put in studying and chasing degrees would pay off, are now feeling defeated and trapped.
Crazy how we aren’t so different here in the US.
I was what I think we would now call a “weeb” in my junior/senior year of high school, and had studied Japanese culture before making a short trip over there in the summer. One of the things I learned was that blowing your nose in public is seen as bad manners, and it really stuck with me. When you think about it, it is pretty gross to loudly blow snot into a tissue (bonus points for carrying a handkerchief!) in front of others, like (as an American) we’ll just do this at the dinner table without batting an eye.
To this day, I try not to blow my nose in public places or in front of folks if I can avoid it, because it has grossed me out ever since learning how Japanese culture perceives it.
This reminds me of my ex, who stated “I HATE Wikipedia” because “it looks dumb” when I mentioned it in passing.
She really earned that “ex” title…
