Just a note that @jtbayly kindly shared an example with me via a PM and I’ve taken a closer look at this. @jtbayly I think what you’re seeing is expected behaviour. You have “Only Import Moderator Liked” enabled and the display of comments, including the display of the comment count, are controlled by the filter settings you apply to comments. Unless I’m mistaken, essentially what you want is:

- No actual comments to be imported.
- Just the comment count to display next to the link to the corresponding topic.

In which case I think the configuration you want is to set “Enable Discourse Comments” to “Display a link to the comments”. You should then disable “Only Import Moderator Liked”.
