There are a lot of bugs related to comments on Lemmy right now
And also in this case it's maybe due to the comment coming from another instance and it's not sync yet

You're correct. Even the 'View more (1)' does indeed bring back a comment from a user on another instance.
I'm amazed how all this stuff even hangs together and talks to each other ! Truly impressive.
Connect seems to handle these cross-conversations a lot better.

That is probably atomic, would be very weird if it's not.
What is 'atomic' ?
All updates are done at once, and there is no state where partial information is available.
So that means you can never end up in a state where the system knows there are more comments but can't load them. Either they are available or they aren't.
Nicely put. Thanks for clearing that up.
I keep seeing "view parent..." Everywhere but when I tap it it basically just refreshes and doesn't show anything new.
It should take you progressively back up the tree of comments - it does this on my version of Sync. If a solution hasn't already been posted, you could raise a question here. Currently (with Sync) I don't think the option is available - I start new posts using Connect for Lemmy. Good luck.
Comment sorting is a bit busted, Hot seems to work best atm.
I was wondering the same thing
