🔧 Troubleshooting & FAQs

Why Are My Comments Delayed or Missing?

You may notice that comments from your pod boosts are taking longer than expected to appear on your LinkedIn post, or that they don't seem to match the interval time you selected. Don't worry - your comments are not lost. What's happening? LinkedIn is currently experiencing server-side delays that are affecting how quickly comments are displayed on posts. This means: - Comments may take longer than usual to appear - The interval time you selected (e.g., 20 seconds or 1 minute) may not be reflected exactly - Some comments may appear to be missing at first but will show up later This is a LinkedIn infrastructure issue and is not related to your Lempod account or settings. What should I do? - Wait for the boost to complete. Comments are still being processed and delivered - they're just delayed on LinkedIn's end. - Check the total count. Once your boost has finished, check the total number of comments on your post. You should see them all come through. - No need to change your settings. Your interval time and pod setup are working correctly. The delay is happening on LinkedIn's side. Is this affecting everyone? Yes. This is not specific to your account. LinkedIn's servers are under heavier load than usual, which is causing delays across the platform for comment and like delivery. Still need help? If your boost has fully completed and you're still seeing missing comments, please reach out to our support team. We're happy to look into it for you!
