Can’t see creators replies to my or other comments

So this has been going on for about 3 weeks now but every time I open a comment section on TikTok I see peoples replies being full of them apparently talking to the creator of the video but I can’t see the creators comment. It’s not just them talking to themselves because a creator replied to my comment once too, it didn’t show up but people replying to the creators comment were shown under mine. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
