This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Why I see different content on the same community with different accounts? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello! I use 2 Lemmy accounts. The first one for everyday use, the second one for specific, more anonymous use. They both are on the same instance and follow the same communities. But when I look at the same community, with both accounts, I see not especially different posts, but on one account the oldest Post is 7 months old, and with the second account I see every recent post.

It's like im shadow banned or something. Yes im 100% sure its the same community. Even if i go on the profile of my main account I can only see 2 out of 25 posts.

EDIT: The answer to my problem was my language settings! Lemmy blocked a lot of posts because of this. Quite interesting for me because I didn't know that. If you have set your language to Belgian for example, you will only see content from people who have set their language to Belgian. Even if their posts are written in English. But you can set multiple languages by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on your preferred languages. This is not solved well in my opinion.

Ohhh boy.... how many posts I probably missed because of this....

You can only see posts from people who have the same language setting as you.

That is not correct.

Posts are posted with a language set or with none set. In the language settings, the Lemmy UI (in the official frontend) warns that you should not unselect "undetermined" to not miss content on posts that do not have one set.

For example, on this comment, I select EN. When I post in German, I select German.

It's not about display language settings. It's about selected content languages, and the languages (or lack of one being set) on the content.

Communities can limit which languages you can post in.

On my comment, it shows which language it was posted in (/is labeled as).
