I have noticed posts going missing every once in a while and not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s a known issue.
For example I wrote a short welcome post for https://lemmy.world/c/dnd but I can no longer see my own post on my own account. But if i log out and navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/dnd I can see the post is there and fine?
Confused
I noticed that on the !startrek@lemmy.ml community. If I was not logged in, I could see a post. But if I logged in I could not.
Check your language setting has all the languages you want selected and ALSO has undefined selected too. V important and it’s been causing a lot of issues, definitely needs looking at by devs.
Aha! I bet that is the issue. I’ll take a look.
Where do I look at this language setting? Is it possible to do in apps like connect and liftfoff? I’m having this incredibly annoying problem.
I’m using Liftoff also and it doesn’t look like this setting is in there yet. You can do it from the mobile site though.
If you’re not sure how to get to that, go through Liftoff by visiting settings > accounts > tap the account name > three dots in top corner > open in browser.
Thanks, I’ve done so but still getting the issue :/ appreciate it anyhow
Ah, that’s a shame. Tbf it might not be anything to do with you it might just be part of the ongoing federation issues we’ve been seeing as everything struggles to scale up.
You can always force your instance to index a post by searching the URL, if it’s something you really want to reply to. And searching for a comment URL will pull in that comment, any parent comments, plus the post itself.
Not ideal I know, but just a thought.
I’ll try that out on desktop since it’s a bit easier to do that there. Thanks!
Strange, hopefully we get a more concrete answer
Could it be based on your language settings? I saw someone mention that setting your language to undefined makes you see all posts. If you set it to English for instance you might not see posts that haven’t specified it’s language as English.
That may totally be it. When I began posting I didn’t understand what that selection was for and just selected English. I’ll mess around with it and see.
It’s a multi select so make sure to select English AND undefined
For the multi select to work on PC, I had to hold ctrl, then mouse click, just FYI
This helped me out so much lmao Thanks a lot!
Oh yeah, that’s weird, I can’t see them on your account either, but I can see them in https://lemmy.world/c/dnd (linked it for you~)
Maybe it needs time to update or something?
I could see my welcome post for a while, but it has since disappeared. I made a spelling error and wanted to fix it lol
And thanks I’m getting used to the linking styling of this platform still, and it’s a little tricky on the Jerboa app at the moment.
