Why do answers show up in my notifications but not on the actual question post? I haven’t blocked them or anything either and they aren’t?
offensive comments, anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I've been having this issue where I see people's answers in my Notifications, but not under the question.
I believe it's called 'shadow banning' where Yahoo tries to discourage people from answering hoping they'll go away.
Many people get mad at me saying Yahoo doesn't do that, so if they don't actually shadow ban people, then it's a glitch

If you see Answers in Notifications but not the Question its Due to the Answer got Reported and Deleted after the Notification for it was Sent out Yahoo does not update there Notification when Someones Answer gets Removed

There are a few reasons this might happen:
1. The user deleted the answer before you saw it in the question
2. The answer was reported and removed before you saw it in the question
3. The answer is hung in the spam filter and only shows up for the user who posted it. It needs to be edited to get it to show up for others, but if the OP doesn't realize no one else can see it, they don't know to inquire about the issue and find out what to do to get it through the filter.
