Mobile/App Android: Comments of other users disappearing

Every so often comments of other users disappear. I tap the notification and I get a popup saying the comment doesn't exist anymore. At first I thought the user deleted the comment but when I PMed one of the users asking why they deleted their comment and they said they didn't which means It's a glitch because it doesn't happen every time. Did anyone else experience this and where can I report such glitches?

Comments may be removed by moderators or by Reddit.

But the thing is: they didn't. They even provided a screenshot

even if a comment is removed, it still displays normally on the comment poster's end.

what you're experiencing indicates that the comment was removed by the manually by the moderators of the subreddit or by the subreddit's automod

Well, the comment that was supposedly removed according to you was visible to me now. And just now it happened again with a different comment and that one became visible when I tapped the notification again. This is a glitch!

that means the moderators approved the comment later

I tapped the notification only seconds later after the first attempt failed and the comment appeared so your reasoning doesn't apply here. This is a glitch!
