CommentStream appears to drop a significant amount of comments from /r/all. about snoostorm HOT 2 CLOSED

Explicitly specifying a limit of 100 via CommentStream(r, { subreddit: "all", limit: 100, pollTime: 2000,}) appears to return a number of comments similar to the number of comments returned when using other methods.

The current default options for new comment streams are as follows

export const DefaultOptions: SnooStormOptions = {
  pollTime: 2000,
  limit: 5,
  subreddit: "all",
};

This is mostly a remnant from the old API limits. The new API limits (when connected via Oath2) support up to 60 requests per minute, and each comment returned counted as a ratelimit (if I'm remembering correctly, I wrote that code years ago). Therefore, Snoostorm is designed to have up to 2 simultaneous streams running without issue.

However, because the API ratelimit has changed, it makes sense to up the default. This should be updated in the next patch version.
