If there is

- a single reply

and

- it is directly underneath the post it is replying to

… then metadata is suppressed in the interests of keeping the overall noise down, as it is generally clear from the existing verbal context that this is a reply.

Site owners can change this behavior in their site settings. Search for the word “suppress”.
